Unofficial Grand Theft Auto V hardware ports

Overview

Modders have achieved a native port of Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) for the original Nintendo Switch. Utilizing leaked source code from 2023, the group Paralympics Productions reverse-engineered the game to run on the console’s ARM architecture. While the game runs directly on the hardware, performance is limited to a variable 10 to 25 FPS unless users utilize a jailbroken console with overclocked components.

Following the Switch success, developer M0jso has begun working on an unofficial Android port. This project aims to bring the game to mobile devices and tablets, though it will require high-end specifications such as a Snapdragon 865 processor and 8 GB of RAM. Due to the unauthorized nature of the project, the software will not include copyrighted files, and developers note a high likelihood of legal intervention from Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive.
