Payback 2 and Gangstar Vegas (Source: Google Play Store)

Grand Theft Auto is one of the most popular game series by Rockstar Games. The open-world action-adventure game attracts a lot of gamers. The latest entrant to the series was unveiled way back in 2013 but gamers are still thrilled to see its updates. We will even see a reworked version for the next-generation consoles. However, GTA V is not available for smartphones officially despite smartphone processors getting better and better with the capability of running FPS games easily.

Still, if you want to have a GTA-like experience on your smartphone for free, here are a few options available.

Payback 2 – The Battle Sandbox

Payback 2 has as many as 50 campaign events which include street brawls, rocket car races, tank battles, high-speed helicopter races, and others. It allows the player to play online. There are weekly challenges available as well. You can even customise the events using a combination of seven cities and a wide array of weaponry. You won’t be too impressed by the graphics of the game but it is a fun alternative.

Gangstar Vegas: World of Crime

This game by Gameloft SE has been there for a long time. This can be one of the closest alternatives to GTA V. As the name suggests, the game is set in Las Vegas.

Go to Town 5 is not high on graphics and it can be played on an entry-level smartphone as well. The controls are easy, you can drive around on a bike, car, fly a helicopter, or tread the waters with a ship. To simplify it, you are free to do whatever you want to in this game.
