🎮 Pro Tip: Use a Controller!
While Rockstar has done a great job optimizing the game for touch controls, nothing beats the feel of a console-like experience.
* I highly recommend connecting a Bluetooth controller (like a PS5 DualSense or Xbox controller) to your phone for the best experience. The precise aiming and movement make a huge difference!
