Is GTA 5 Port on Android Possible?

It’s actually not possible for a GTA V being ported on Android or iOS. GTA V was made on Rockstar Advanced Game Engine which supports:

• Windows
• OSX
• PS3
• PS4
• XBOX 360
• XBOX ONE

As you can see Android is not included in the list, thus they cannot port the game on Android anyhow.

GTA SanAndreas apk was built on RenderWare Game Engine which supports Android, and that’s why developers were easily able to port the game. Even if the people try secondary methods there are still too much for the smartphone hardware to develop before someone can port it. Some necessary improvements which are required such as,

• Dedicated GPU Video Memory

Currently, in most Smartphone motherboards, the GPU share the memory with the actual RAM. The RAM has some bandwidth which gets divided between CPU and the GPU limiting its processing speed.

• Bandwidth

Currently most low to mid end smartphones have very low memory bandwidth as low as 6Gbps, 12Gbps. Most high end smarphone are the only the ones which could be seen with a PC grade 25Gbps bandwidth

• Amount of RAM

Its another factor why the game won’t run on most phones. Its general and everybody knows why.

p class=”ui_qtext_para”>GTA 5 has a lot of graphics, for which to render you need to have a good graphics card. Currently, the most powerful GPU in the phones is actually integrated in the Apple’s newest iPhone X chip (A11 Bionic). You’d also need a pretty good CPU with good IPC (instructions per clock) to render a playable FPS.
The amount of RAM it’d take could actually be solved considering there are some phones with 8GB of RAM.
The system itself wouldn’t be such a problem as Android is based on Linux.

You can still play the game on some devices such as nVidia Shield.

So, considering the techonology, at the time of writing this, this is the final conclusion :

• Downloading the game – Possible.
• Playing the game (itself on the device) – Not possible.
• Playing the game (through a streaming device like nVidia Shield) – Possible.
