The dream of running GTA V natively on Android just died
Take-Two issues a cease-and-desist to shut down the native ARM port project for Android and Switch.
The dream of running Grand Theft Auto V natively on an Android device has come to an abrupt end. Developer Paralympics Productions, working on a native port, has been forced to shut down by Take-Two Interactive. The decision came after the parent company issued a cease-and-desist letter, seemingly due to the use of leaked source code.
The developers were given until October 3, 2026, to cease all operations and release the code. With this news, Android users are now left with less efficient emulation layers and cloud streaming as their primary options for running GTA V on their mobile devices. The hopes of a native, optimized experience on Android have officially been dashed.
