It's the early '90s. After a couple of cops frame him for homicide, Carl "CJ" Johnson is forced on a journey that takes him across the entire state of San Andreas, to save his family and to take control of the streets.
Put the original versions back up for sale. Stop bullshitting with these weird ass unreal engine remasters.
tldr: Good game, TERRIBLE remaster. Rockstar Launcher nonsense, broken NPC AI, 30FPS-dependent missions, ugly yellow filter and new flying controls are straight from hell. And yes, this is the "fixed" version in 2026.
I played Vice City DE and while obviously not perfect, I didn't find that one nearly as buggy or annoying as San Andreas. So I was expecting...
The worst remaster in gaming history.
- Game mechanics don't work properly
- Terrible graphics
- Doughy-looking characters
- AI is abysmal—weak and dysfunctional.
Bottom line: Don't buy this game; it's not worth it.
They haven't fixed anything. It's still a complete mess. Don't buy it. This is nothing short of a scam.
It's a great game. I don't need to tell you that. What I need to complain about is the launcher. It's annoying and adds zero value to the game. Every iteration of GTA:SA for the last 20 years been dead simple; you install the game and run it, and that's it. No launcher requiring you to log into a Rockstar account you don't care about. Being online adds...
