Playing GTA San Andreas PS2 Disc on PC? Not Directly—Two Legal Ways

Not directly. PS2 discs use a proprietary format; PC drives can't read the game data, and the code is compiled for PS2's MIPS CPU (PC = x86).

Two Legal Options

1. PC Version: Buy on Steam / Rockstar Launcher (~$10–$15). Native x86, supports mods, widescreen, 60 fps.
2. PS2 Emulation (PCSX2): Requires your own dumped BIOS + ISO. Runs well on modern CPUs. Legal only if you own the disc.

Don't download ISOs/BIOS—piracy + malware risk. The PC port is cheap and superior.
