Experience an action-packed criminal life

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is an iconic action game developed by Rockstar Games which left an everlasting mark on the history of video games. If you like action-adventure games, roaming the open world, and enthralling narratives, this title takes you on an unforgettable journey

Assume the role of Carl Johnson, AKA CJ, in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, who goes back to Los Santos following his mother’s murder. Immediately drawn back to his former gang and life of crime, CJ clashes against corrupt authorities and influential criminals in the city.

The freedom to explore 

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, better known as GTA: San Andreas, is an action and open-world game originally released in 2004. It's set in San Andreas, the fictional U.S. stateconsisting of three major cities: Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas. All of them are based on real locations: Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas, respectively. These locations feature references to real-life elements. A downside is that the graphics and animations feel dated. 

One of the most distinctive features of the game is its acclaimed freedom of action. From the moment you take control of CJ, you find yourself immersed in a vast environment where you can explore the city and rural areas at your leisure. You can do it all: explore, steal vehicles, complete missions, and cause chaos. The final decision is yours — but make sure you’re ready to face the consequences

Great missions, activities, and story 

In GTA: San Andreas, there is no time to rest. Apart from its story, you will have a wide variety of side tasks and activities to enjoy. From illegal races to heistsair combat, and gang wars, this title will never let up. The game also features character customization. That means you can improve CJ’s endurance, strength, and even his 'sex appeal' to turn him into a true criminal boss. 

The plot thickens as you find yourself involved in a series of situations that will take you straight to the heart of San Andreas' criminal world. The story will captivate you from the beginning, thanks to its charismatic characters, emotional moments, and a few unexpected twists that will keep your interest every step of the way. All of these are revealed through various missions. However, some devices frequently encounter bugs running this old title. 

Relive the legacy of San Andreas 

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has become a cult classic within the video game industry. Its success has led to remastered versions and adaptations for multiple platforms. One of the most recent examples is Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition, which brings back the world of San Andreas, updated for the new generation of consoles. Overall, this game offers a whole experience that action and crime game enthusiasts shouldn’t miss.
