While GTA 5 mobile isn’t an official reality yet, it is finally playable on Android via emulation, as shared by a Reddit user (thanks, Exputer). Here’s a video shared by Luis Gaming Test showing GTA V running at 25-30 FPS/Snapdragon 870 on the Poco F3. As you’ll see, it runs pretty smoothly. For those looking to play GTA 5 at 40-50 FPS, here’s what it looks like with Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2.

All of this is possible thanks to Mobox Esync. For those who don’t know, “Mobox Esync” refers to a combination of two things: Mobox, a mobile game emulator, and esync, a technology used to improve emulator performance. Results may vary depending on the emulated game, your hardware, and your network connection.

This is a big leap in Android emulation progress, because GTA 5 is a graphically and resource intensive game. Even high-end PCs struggle to run it smoothly on max settings. This is why emulating GTA V for a smartphone or tablet is/was a complex task.

Please note that using emulators to play mobile games may be considered against the terms of service of some games or even illegal in certain regions. Please check the specific terms of the game before using Mobox Esync.
