Why you cannot download GTA 5 on your mobile?
The reason is not complicated, but understandable. You cannot download GTA 5 in your smartphone due to the following reasons:
- Rockstar Policy
- Smartphone capability
Let's go in depth:
1. As per Rockstar's policy, there is no official app for GTA 5 released on smartphone and moreover, Rockstar released GTA 5 just on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC. But still if you found an illegal way to get GTA 5 on your phone, Rockstar can get you in trouble. So better don't use unauthorized software to get it.
2. To run GTA 5, it takes a damn lot of specifications, even on mid end gaming pc. So running GTA 5 with the specs of mobile is nothing but a dream of mobile players. Storage alone won't let you play GTA 5 and even if it does take 60 GB of space and you have 120 GB storage in your phone, you still simply can't run it due to lack of graphic capacity in phone.
3. Not only this, running GTA 5 on a touchscreen mobile barely let you control. So that's the reason we play it on a big screen with a controller/ keyboard and mouse. Even while streaming, you'll have to use controller/keyboard to use those features which cannot be used by mobile control panel.
There is no official app for GTA 5 released on smartphone and moreover, Rockstar released GTA 5 just on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC. But still if you found an illegal way to get GTA 5 on your phone, you can get in trouble if found by Rockstar (rarely). So better don't use unauthorized software to get GTA 5 for free.
