GTA: San Andreas turns 20 – the game celebrates another anniversary

26 October 2024

Today, one of the best parts of GTA turned 20 years old – San Andreas celebrates a new round date. Along with it, another equally cool project from Rockstar Games celebrates its birthday.

GTA: San Andreas was remembered by many fans primarily due to its freedom and many mechanics that had no analogue at that time. The game not only collected all the cool features from the third part and Vice City, but also multiplied them, delighting with improved gameplay. Even today, you can spend several exciting evenings in GTA: SA – a few years ago, the project received a second life thanks to a re-release, albeit not very successful.

Below are some of the most recognizable memes that went viral on the Internet thanks to the title. Of course, we couldn't forget about Big Smoke's legendary order:

And another line that probably got stuck in the heads of hundreds and thousands of players:

And where would we be without the already classic phrase:

The fan base of players also regularly pleases with new content on GTA: San Andreas. For example, artists still share cool art with CJ, redrawing him in an unusual style or even reproducing him as a 3D model:

Let's remember that today marks the sixth anniversary of another legendary game that could become a classic — Red Dead Redemption 2. The sequel to the cowboy action was released in 2018 on the same day that GTA: San Andreas was released.

And what are your impressions of both games? How did you first get to know them? Tell us in the comments!
