How to Install GTA 3 Mission Completed Save Files

In this article, we’ll guide you on how to install Grand Theft Auto III (GTA 3 Original and Trilogy The Definitive Edition) mission save files on various platforms, including PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and mobile devices.

Grand Theft Auto III (GTA 3) is one of the most iconic open-world games ever made. Sometimes, players want to skip the grind and get straight to free-roaming after completing all missions.

Before You Start: Important Notes

• Backup Your Saves: Always create a backup of your original save files before modifying them to avoid losing any progress.
• Check the Version: Ensure that the save file you’re downloading is compatible with your version of the game. Some mods may be specific to the original version or the Definitive Edition.

How to Install GTA 3 Save Files on PC (Windows/Mac)

Here are all the steps on installing the Grand Theft Auto III mission saves on your computer and laptop, including macOS devices:

Step 1: Download the Save File

• Go to GTAModify.com and download the mission-completed save file for GTA 3. Save it in an easy-to-find location, like your desktop.
