SA-MP: multiplayer mod for GTA: San Andreas turns this popular single-player game into an action-packed multiplayer game with multiple servers to choose from.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was a wildly popular action-adventure game that won countless awards over the years, but there was one major drawback that bothered many people. This game originally had no multiplayer mode, and that had a huge impact on its replayability. If you used to be a fan of GTA: San Andreas, then you might want to take a closer look at the SA-MP mod. This popular mod turns San Andreas into a multiplayer game that can support up to 1,000 different players on each server.

Just like many other GTA mods, setting up SA-MP is very easy. After the mod has been downloaded and installed, all you have to do is place it in the appropriate GTA: San Andreas folder. If you have a newer version of San Andreas, then you might need to downgrade to a previous version in order for this mod to work. Once the full install is complete, you can open the .exe file and search through all of the available game servers. Even though this game is over 15 years older, the servers remain fairly active, and you should be able to find at least a handful of active accounts.

In addition to creating a new multiplayer mode, this mod has also added hundreds of new objects and tweaks to the game. SA-MP includes everything from customizable license plates to dozens of new cars, and that extra content has given this game a new look and feel.

Within the multiplayer servers, you can play as if this was any other type of multiplayer sandbox game. Some players will simply wander around and fight with one another while others enjoy manipulating the game's unique physics to create hilarious scenarios. This mod has definitely revitalized GTA: San Andreas and brought back many people who used to be fans of the original game.
