The GTA Series made by Rockstar is one of the best open-world RPG franchises ever created. Amongst them, GTA San Andreas is probably the most iconic title, the best out of the three HD games. However, ever since Rockstar release GTA Trilogy Remastered, they have removed the original version from all storefronts, making it impossible to purchase.

In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase how to download the original GTA San Andreas in 2022.

1. Buy the GTA Trilogy Remastered

After the launch debacle of GTA Trilogy Remastered, which was filled with bugs and glitches, Rockstar has decided to just give all the original games for free to all its owners. The games are added directly into their Rockstar Games Launcher libraries.

In order to secure your free copies of the classic GTA games, you'll need to have bought the remastered trilogy before June 30, 2022. It's unclear when the original GTA games will officially relaunch on the Rockstar Store, but the company says we'll hear an update on that front soon.

2. Buy the Steam gift/key from third parties

If you still insist on doing this legally, there are steam keys on various third party sites such as ebay or cdkeys, at extortion prices. When acquired, players can add the key directly to their steam account to get the game.
