★★★★ "Auto aim is horrid. The game runs fine and all, but the auto aim and really just gun play camera angles in general are absolutely miserable. It makes the missions virtually unplayable" - Devin Spaulding

★★★★ Mohan raj 4/26/2026 v1.12.259

★★★★ Dan D 4/24/2026 v1.12.259
crashes
★★★★ Blade Henderson 4/21/2026 v1.12
I've tried everything. Unplayable! I've used a moto g pure to play this and it was crashing. Now I have a one plus Nord 10 5G and it is still crashing. (Edit) Just got a Moto stylus 2024 and well, same thing. but i got a PS4 and I've been playing away rdr1, gtav, and rdr2 anyways. (and I got my Xbox 360 runnin so I've been playing GTA 4 a lot)
★★★★ Ollie Sentialnus 4/15/2026 v1.12.259
Controls render this unplayable.
★★★★ Houssam Zidiroma 4/15/2026 v1.12.259
After I entered the game, it crashed automatically. I don't know what happened. I would like this problem fixed. Thank you.
★★★★ Minh Le 4/14/2026 v1.12.259
the bug happens in demolition mission. when driving the RC helicopter, rotating the heplicopter does not work. it just rotates the camera. not the helicopter. Please fix it ASAP. This is a serious bug because you can not continue to the next mission without completing this mission.
★★★★ Nishant Kansara 4/14/2026
I want refund
★★★★ Kurtis Langridge-Barker 4/13/2026 v1.09
Updated years later as Rockstar has effectively stolen this game from the libraries of paying customers 10+ years after purchase.
★★★★ Rohan Kulkarni 4/12/2026

★★★★ KARTHI KEYAN 4/11/2026

★★★★ Donald Nuckles 4/11/2026
controls are straight garbage
★★★★ freddy diaz 4/5/2026 v1.12.259
this game used to run 120 fps on my s25 ultra now the controls are messed up and barley has a staple 30fps even though i turn off frame limiter on s26 ultra
★★★★ Davit Karapetyan 4/2/2026 v1.12.259
rotation controls change camera angle instead
★★★★★ Vladimir Voitovik 5/6/2026 v1.12.259
Works, but performance now is terrible. On my old Poco X3 Pro it run smoothly stable 60 FPS and now on my Xiaomi 14T Pro I have 30 FPS.
★★★★★ Mineesha 4/29/2026 v1.12.259
pay for what? controls are bad, have to do missions over and over... I paid, so you guys, please fix the bugs... when driving a motorbike, the front wheel goes crazy... the RC copter controls are bad... brakes are bad... you guys, this game needs an update.. fix all bugs and controls please. still now the vehicle just keeps turning left without me pressing buttons.... and still no response to my review! this sucks! What's the use paying so much money for a game then?
★★★★★ Aatif Khan 4/19/2026 v1.12.259
the game is good but it's not saving my game showing save unsuccessful.
★★★★★ Shamus O'Shamus 4/19/2026 v1.12.259
Fan of game sice release, logged tons of hours on this and other GTAs. Downloaded updates and now flight controls aren't correct. Lost cyclic controls, the screen turns instead of the tail. Not fun and hurts gameplay. Lost data as well. Recently updated so not fully sure what else was disrupted.
★★★★★ Adam O'Sullivan 4/14/2026 v1.12.259
Great game but the controls don't work correctly.
★★★★★ IND HIMAN MUSIC 4/5/2026 v1.12.259
