This page outlines some of the places Grand Theft Auto San Andreas can be bought and played with MTA:SA (sometimes with an automatic downgrade step).

Compatibility

Not all of the GTA versions listed below have been tested, but all should work correctly. If not, try reinstalling MTA. If that doesn't work, follow these instructions. If that still doesn't work, then please contact us on on the forums, or join the MTA Discord #help-support channel.

The newly announced Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition will contain a new release of GTA San Andreas. This game version will not be compatible with MTA:SA (at launch).

Obtaining compatible & used copies

Officially, Rockstar Games and Take-Two have stopped selling the original PC port of GTA San Andreas. In order to obtain it you could look into online flea-markets or private resellers. A prominent example in the EU is ebay.com. By typing in "gta san andreas pc" into the search field you can find plenty of people that still sell the compatible game. Be careful though as buying from untrustworthy resellers such as unknown non-business people does pose risks (for example fake or broken copies).

Retailer Notes Works with MTA:SA?
