About the Game
Rockstar's upgraded 1990s crime action-adventure, with Traditional Chinese support and a current Taiwan price of NT$ 1790.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas – The Definitive Edition is a single-player action and adventure game from Rockstar Games, the studio behind the series. It is set in the early 1990s in the state of San Andreas. The story begins with Carl Johnson, also known as CJ, who left Los Santos five years earlier to escape the pressures of life there, a city the store description portrays as gang-ridden, drug-soaked and corrupt.
When CJ returns home, he finds his mother murdered, his family falling apart and his childhood friends sliding toward ruin. Soon a group of police officers frames him for murder, forcing him on a journey across the entire state of San Andreas. His goals are to save his family and take control of the streets, and the store description notes that the chain of events that follows changes everything. The genre tags point to a mix of action and adventure, so expect the story to be carried by hands-on play rather than cutscenes alone.
What stands out is the update. The store description highlights new lighting and environment upgrades, high-resolution textures, a longer draw distance, and controls and aiming modes modeled on Grand Theft Auto V. Rockstar Games developed the original, and Grove Street Games handled the adjustments for this release.
For newcomers, the core appeal is a complete single-player crime story with a clear goal, presented with a more modern look than the original release. Returning fans get a familiar story with updated controls and visuals.

Who It Is (and Is Not) For
Recommended For
Players who enjoy crime-themed action adventures with a long single-player story will get the most from this release. Fans of the Grand Theft Auto series who want the 1990s classic in a refreshed form will find the updated visuals and controls appealing. Anyone who prefers playing with a controller will also appreciate the full controller support.
Not Recommended For
Players who want multiplayer or online play should skip it, since the store features list only single-player. Anyone uncomfortable with mature material will want to think twice, given the adult content flag and the gang, drug and murder themes in the story.
What the Steam Reviews Say
Steam shows this game with a Very Positive label, which is 極度好評 in Taiwan Steam wording, and 80% of its reviews are positive. Very Positive is the second-highest tier on Steam's scale, which means the large majority of players who reviewed the game recommend it.
The review volume is in the tens of thousands, which makes the positive percentage fairly dependable. On Steam, a percentage carries more weight as the review count grows, because a game with only a handful of reviews can swing sharply in either direction. With a volume this large, the Very Positive label is a solid signal of broad player approval.

All prices here are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. The current price is NT$ 1790, which is also the regular price, and the game is not on a tracked discount right now. The lowest price we have recorded is NT$ 590, set on September 18, 2026, which was the deepest discount we logged at 67% off.
Our price record for this game is still short, so any verdict here is tentative. The game has been discounted sometimes in our records, but we have not yet seen enough sales to predict when the next one will come. There has been no free-to-keep period in our records, so the only way to pay less is through a discount.
Whether now is a good time depends on your budget and patience. At the current full price, waiting for a sale is a reasonable choice, since discounts have appeared before and the lowest recorded price was steep. If you want to buy immediately, the current price is the one to pay, and the price history will become more useful as it grows.
