Speedrunning Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has always required a lot of time. Even in the Any% category, where there are no additional conditions, five months was occupied by a player under the nickname Ielreset with an indicator of 3 hours 52 minutes. However, his record was broken by the speedrunner Powdinet, which took only 25 minutes and 52 seconds to complete GTA: San Andreas.
The enthusiast managed to achieve such an impressive result thanks to a certain sequence of actions. You need to steal a police motorcycle, change your hairstyle, meet a drug dealer and so on. There are more than 40 steps in the general list, which Powdinet talked about on . If everything is done correctly, the main character will no longer be able to get into the car. Because of this, the game begins to believe that the last mission has come, and opens access to it.
A similar vulnerability has long been used in GTA: Vice City speedruns. In San Andreas, Powdinet was only able to detect such a bug in the Windows Store version of the game. Most likely, 25 minutes and 52 seconds will not be the final record. Powdinet completed the final mission on the second attempt, and therefore there is a chance to complete GTA: San Andreas even faster.
