Let’s explore some ways you can possibly play Rockstar Games’ hit open-world title, GTA 5, on mobile devices.
GTA 5 has been available on several console generations and PC, but still, there is no word on a mobile version. Despite all its success, Rockstar Games has not yet thought about launching a mobile port of the game. So, players can only play the game through platforms such as PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
But if you have stable internet access and good hardware, you can play GTA V through cloud gaming. Alternatively, older GTA games also come with official mobile ports. Let’s dive into how you can possibly play GTA 5 and other previously released GTA titles on mobile.

How To Play GTA 5 Using Cloud Gaming?
Even though there’s no official mobile version of GTA 5, the game may be played on mobile using the services of cloud gaming. One such example would be PlayStation Now, Airgpu, Boosteroid, and Steam Link. These services enable the streaming of a game onto mobile phones. But you’d need to buy a copy for a supported console.
The most convenient out of all would be Steam Link, as it only requires you to have a copy of the game. You don’t need a subscription service. However, it does require you to have Steam and GTA 5 installed on your PC.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to play the game on Steam Link.
- Download Steam Link on the Android Play Store or the iOS App Store.
- Log in to Steam on your PC.
- Connect your Steam Link to your Steam PC.
- Once connected, open GTA 5 from your Steam Link.
- Enjoy the game.
This applies to all Steam games you own. Additionally, you need a stable internet connection to enjoy cloud gaming. Without a good connection, you will most likely experience input lag and possible disconnection issues.

Will GTA 5 Be Released on Mobile?
The chances of GTA 5 coming out on mobile devices are very small. Rockstar Games has concentrated on developing new content for GTA Online and on the development of the much-anticipated GTA 6. In light of GTA 5’s technical requirements, porting the game to the hardware of a mobile device would be a difficult task. Regardless of the leaps in mobile gaming, a correct port would require a lot of optimization.
Rather than a straight mobile port, Rockstar could continue to support cloud gaming services for GTA 5. But a standalone official mobile version is not very likely, at least in the short term.
