Connect your mobile to PC with USB cable. The file transfer will take a long time, so make sure you have a stable connection. Now you need to copy the GTA V installation files to the “Download” folder of your phone, that is, the folder you found when you unzipped the ISO. When the files are transferred, disconnect your phone from the computer and continue with the steps below.
To get started, you need to install WinLater on your Android mobile. Here we are going to give you a tutorial on how to install WinLater with APK Now open the WinLater application and create a windows container (virtual machine) with the necessary settings to play GTA V. To do this, press the (+) button in the upper right corner. The next thing to do is give the container a name and select 16:9 resolution. If your Android has a Snapdragon processor, you should select the “Turnip (Adreno)” option in the graphics driver, and select “DXVK” in the DX wrapper. If your phone’s chipset is MediaTek, we recommend selecting “LLVMpipe” and “WineD3D” respectively. Leave the default (9800GT) in the GPU name section, go to the WIN COMPONENTS section and make sure that “Native (Windows)” is selected in the Direct3D, DirectSound, DirectPlay and Visual C++ sections.
Finally, in the ADVANCED section, check the “Stop services at startup” option and the Box86 Preset and Box64 Preset “Compatibility” option. When you finish this configuration, press the button (
) to create the container and return to the home page of the application Before running the container you just created, press the menu (≡) on the Winlater home page and click Settings. Here, make sure the Box86 Preset and Box64 Preset are set to “Compatibility”. Then click the button () to return to Winlater’s home page. Now it’s time to run the container. To do this, click the Options button (⋮) next to the container, and then run it to start emulating this Windows virtual machine.
Starting the container (Windows virtual machine) you just created will open the file explorer. Here you have to go in part (D). This is the “Download” folder on your phone where you copied the GTA V installation folder.
Once in Drive (D): (the Downloads folder on your phone), enter the GTA V installation folder, i.e. the files you found when you unzipped the ISO on the PC and the folder you copied to your mobile phone.
Now run the “setup.exe” file i.e. the GTA V installation file by double clicking.
When the game installer starts, you will have to click the “Next” button to complete the installation steps. We recommend that you choose Drive (D:) as the location where the game will be installed to have more control over mobile storage. To do this, you just need to click “Browse” and select the location. We remind you that you must have at least 63 GB of storage to install GTA V.
When the installation is complete, go to the folder where the game is installed and double-click on the “GTAVLauncher.exe” file to start playing. If you want to configure a playback controller, swipe from the left side of the screen to open the Winlater options and click “Input Controls” to configure the controls.
