Here Is How I Installed GTA 5 APK on My Android Phone or Tablet

So, if you are like me and planning to play GTA 5 on the go, using the APK version of the game on Android is a revelation.

Here’s how I did it step-by-step:

Step 1: Preparing My Device First, I checked that my phone could run GTA 5 or not. It is a resource intensive game so I got my device specifications to ensure that I had at least 4GB RAM plus enough space in my device – about 5GB free space, just in case. I also went to settings then security and check on unknown sources so that I can download apps from the other sources.

Step 2: How to Get a Trustworthy APK and OBB I was afraid to download some kind of a virus, so I located a reputable site that provided the GTA 5 APK and OBB files. To avoid getting a virus on my computer, I ran the files through VirusTotal before downloading them.

Step 3: Downloading and Extract Files When the files were on my phone, I actually used a file manager and went to downloads folder. In the case of OBB file, I used the app such as ZArchiver to extract it. It is really easy to do – you just right click the file, select ‘extract’, and then type in the location.

Step 4: Moving the OBB File This step was crucial. I moved the extracted OBB folder to the correct location: Android > OBB > com.rockstargames.gta5 If the OBB folder was not created then I made the directory myself.

Step 5: Installing the APK I clicked on the APK file to install it. The installation was quite simple and the only things I had to allow were permissions during the installation steps.

Step 6: Launching the Game After installation, I played the game. The first load was a little slow, though after that it was well done. After it began, I set the parameters to fit the application to my device and its performance.

Tips I Learned Along the Way

Backups Are Lifesavers: The first thing that I did was to create a backup of all the relevant data, in case of a mishap. Optimizing Performance: That is why, with the help of the Game Booster application, my phone operated the game with fewer lags. Staying Safe: I don’t participate in online multiplayer on modded APKs for this reason because it could get my account banned. This is how I got GTA 5 working on my Android phone or tablet, as the case may be. If you are following these steps, just be careful with the sources you rely on for the files. Enjoy the game!
