Now that you know the apps and tools available, it’s time to learn how to set everything up to play GTA V on your phone. Let’s go through a basic tutorial to help you get started:
- Choose the right emulation application: As we mentioned before, you can opt for streaming platforms like Steam Link or NVIDIA GeForce NOW, or emulators like ExaGear. Choose the option that best suits your phone and internet connection.
- Download the app: Access your mobile phone's app store (Google Play Store for Android or App Store for iOS) and download the desired app.
- Set up your account (if necessary): If you chose a streaming platform, such as Steam Link, log in with your account. If you're using an emulator, follow the in-app instructions to set up emulation.
- Connect your phone to your PC or use cloud gaming: In the case of emulators or streaming, you will need to connect your phone to your PC or cloud platform. Make sure both are on the same Wi-Fi network to ensure good streaming quality.
- Start playing: Open the game on your device and start having fun! Adjust the controls and graphics settings as needed to ensure the best possible performance.
What are the best apps to play GTA V on mobile?
Now that you understand how emulation works, it’s time to find out which apps are the best for running GTA V on your phone. Here are some recommended options, taking into account ease of use, compatibility, and performance:
- Steam Link: Steam Link is an application that allows you to play any title from your Steam library on your mobile device. This includes GTA V, if you already have the game on your Steam account. You just need to connect your mobile device to your PC via Wi-Fi or a USB cable, and you can play the game on your mobile device using your PC's controls. Performance depends on the quality of your internet connection.
- NVIDIA GeForce NOW: If you have a GeForce NOW account, you can stream GTA V on your phone. GeForce NOW uses cloud technology to run PC games on NVIDIA servers and stream them to your phone. This means there’s no need to emulate the game locally; performance depends on your internet speed.
- Parsec: Parsec is a game streaming platform that offers an efficient way to play GTA V on your mobile. It allows you to play on your PC and stream the gameplay to your mobile with good image quality, as long as you have a good internet connection.
- ExaGear: For those who want to emulate GTA V directly on their cell phone, ExaGear may be an option. It is a PC emulator for Android that allows you to run heavy games like GTA V, although its performance depends on the specifications of your device. This option is more suitable for those who are willing to venture into the emulator configuration.
