Is there any legal way to purchase GTA 2 for PC?

It got de-listed from Steam, it's not on GoG either.

Buy a used copy of GTA 2 from someone who purchased it legally.

Good luck finding one.

I have one. Is that a rarity? At some point you could buy a copy for cheap at any vaguely media related store.

To my knowledge, no. I was searching for GTA 1 and 2 as well and could not find a legal way to purchase them for PC. Maybe someone has the games as a gift, so would probably sell this way. Or old still active keys sold in certain shops. But those are grey areas. There was also a period of time when Rockstar gave those games away I believe.

Whatever you do, I would be very careful not to fall in a scam trap. Also lot of free .exe downloads are probably infested with malware. The only way to play those games for me is, to emulate them.

@Zugumba @gaming didn't they give it away for free for a while? Or was that the first GTA? 🤔

@Zugumba @gaming there are tons of download links on respectable German sites.

This one's in English and I don't know it, but seems legit.

It looks like it's available on abandonware and the internet archive
