Gameplay Overview[]
San Andreas Living has the same gameplay of Grand Theft Auto V, is an action-adventure game played from a third-person perspective. Players complete missions—linear scenarios with set objectives—to progress through the story. It is possible to have several active missions running at one time, as some require players to wait for further instructions or events. Outside of missions, players can freely roam the game's open world and complete optional side missions. There are also side-missions and Strangers and Freaks missions for the player to complete.
Like in Grand Theft Auto V, player control the character: Kevin Johnson. There's no switch button to switch characters, but only available in raiding and robbery missions for Valeri and Manitor.
Players use melee attacks, firearms and explosives to fight enemies, and may run, jump, swim or use vehicles to navigate the game's world. There is a first-person perspective option when using vehicles. In combat, auto-aim and a cover system can be used as assistance against enemies. Should players take damage, their health meter can be fully regenerated by eating, using medical kits, or calling for paramedics. If players commit crimes, the game's law enforcement agencies may respond as indicated by a "wanted" meter in the head-up display (HUD). On the meter, the displayed stars indicate the current wanted level (for example, at the maximum six-star level, efforts by law enforcement to incapacitate players become very aggressive).
Customization[]
In the game, players can customize the protagonist's appearance. Clothes can be purchased from shops like Binco, and some outfits can be unlocked by completing missions. Barber shops are available for changing hairstyles, and tattoo shops offer the option to add tattoos.

Developers decided to keep these to adding the 3D-arcade playable games to the players in the series, with French cars featured and driven on the streets, which makes the game fresh and new, pushing Rockstar to release the game on January 2021. Extreme weapons were added in the game. However the land mines and railguns were planning to make an appearance in HD Universe, but both are cut to make San Andreas Living realistic similar to the 90s.

Street Racing[]
Main Article: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Living/Street Racing
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Living, has street racing, like many other games. However, since it takes in the 90s, the vehicles that take part in the races are race-car-powered by tuning divisions, like in Initial D, Midnight Club, Test Drive, Wangan Midnight, Gran Turismo, Need for Speed, Formula 1, World Rally Championship, DTM, JGTC, and Fast & Furious franchise. Due to the advances in technology, the speeds regularly achieved in the races regularly exceed 250km/h or 300km/h. As a result, city streets like those in San Fierro and Blaine County are unsuited to Street Racing. San Andreas, which was established in 1781, is suited for high-speed racing as vehicles race along the roads at 300km/h.
The player can participate in street racing, if they are in an custom vehicle that is capable of reaching at least 300km/h (such as the Karin Sultan RS, Benefactor Pulsar & Progen PR4).
Hobbies and Pastimes[]
The hobbies and pastimes are brought back in Grand Theft Auto V. Players can complete hobbies in order to get a reward.
- Stunt Plane Time Trials
- Street Races
- Golf
- Darts
- Strip Club
- Triathlon
- Offroad Races
- Flight School
- Sea Races
- Parachute Jumps
Graphics[]
Like Grand Theft Auto IV and V, the game engine is a good hybrid, this time of RAGE, idTech7, Blender Luminous Studio. The map is entirely rendered with Blender 2.80, Vehicles, Items and Players/NPCs were mostly rendered in Blender, the id Tech 7 engine was used to obtain the Destructible Objects feature, RAGE & Source2 were used to make the environment outside of the buildings and Luminous Studio was used for Animations, Anti-Aliasing, Eye shader, Illumination, Lighting, Particles, and Physics.
Resolution modes are also offered.
- 8K Mode (8192x4320 [1:90:1] resolution, effectively upscaled 4K Mode, PS5/XSX ONLY)
- 4K Mode (4096x2160 [1:90:1] resolution)

Maintaining Kevin[]
The player needs to eat. Over feeding him will adversely affect his stamina but give him more health while under feeding him will give him more stamina but less health. Also, feeding him too much will make him throw up on the floor, or even make him less fat. In order to get muscles for Kevin, he needs to go to the Gym.
The player also needs to sleep for 7 hours to recover stamina and health.
Media[]
Like Grand Theft Auto IV and V, there are media features such as internet, radio stations, phones, and arcade games, but this time, it is set in the 90s. There are also 3D-Minigames for the console to the player.
Weapons[]
Main Article: Weapons
A lot of weapons in GTA V are returned to the game. In addition, special weapons such as the Tropos-Pistol, the Integrale-47, and others can be available to be brought in weapon shops for the protagonist. Armors are added in gun shops for the player to get protected.
Vehicles[]
Main article: Vehicles
For the first time in this game, the vehicles are in the city, which also included the Bordeaux vehicles seen on the streets of San Andreas. There are also special vehicles in the game, which these ones can be founded in some of locations around San Andreas.
Like all previous games, a wide array of vehicles spawn driving around the map that can be stolen. To give the game a sense of realism and make the map feel more alive, various vehicles (as well as pedestrians) spawn in scenarios to make them more interactive with the map, such as delivery vans pulling out of alleyways, emergency vehicles responding, or vehicles pulling in and out of driveways.
Trivia[]
- This is the first GTA game to feature vehicles manufactured by Bordeaux. It could be a possible reference to the French cars which are spotted in the places from United States, but given the difference between U.S. and European regulations, ordinary French cars cannot be driven in the United States. However, it left the country in 1973 due to insufficient sales and was acquired by Peugeot, which then left America in 1991.
- For the first time in this game, this features Video-Game Consoles that have 3D graphics in the games, which are available for the player.
- San Andreas Living has the ability to read the magazines in safehouses. There are also new abilities for the player, such as eating a food which is brought.
- San Andreas Living is the first game in the HD Universe to not feature Lazlow Jones, which is because in real-life as of April 2020, after nearly 20 years, Lazlow no longer works at Rockstar Games. He is only mentioned in TV shows or radio stations such as The Clarkson Show.
- San Andreas Living has similar mission structures to other Grand Theft Auto games such as heists requiring setup, as did the main heist in GTA: San Andreas and introducing characters by name. Also, most missions resembled ones from other GTA games such as like in the mission The Last Helper, a scene resembling in the last mission of GTA SA, where Carl has to kill Officer Tenpenny in a car chase, the mission The l' Accident resembles of that scene when in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown, a mission "Street of Rage", where Huang Lee rescues Wade Heston who was bleeding and kills the Minigun Wonsu Assassin.
- San Andreas Living contains various references to other franchises in this game. (Example: Bridge Racer - Ridge Racer, FOOL - DOOM - Ignition - wipEout - The Omerta Menace (movie) - Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Jake the Rapper - PaRappa the Rapper). It also has references to the popular 1991 film Boyz n' The Hood.
- This game also has some of the special references to other games made by Rockstar.
- Players can see animals in order to pet them, which is likely possible that Kevin Johnson likes animals.
- The protagonist seems to represent a different Rockstar game. Kevin Johnson represents Midnight Club: Los Angeles, due to him being an ambitious young man with impressive driving skills. He also represents Manhunt and San Andreas, as he is a troubled retired, "gangster" with a criminal background and bullet-time ability.
- One of the musics Bula Matari - "Taxi Drivers" (1996) was censored in the PlayStation 5 version, due to the swear words were interrupted by the bleep sounds.
