Grand Theft Auto V, one of the best-selling video games of all time, is now reportedly running natively on the 2017 model Nintendo Switch, according to reports from PCLabs and VideoCardz. This version was developed by a community-led project under the name Paralympics Productions, with a developer known as M0jso taking the lead. The port began circulating on August 27, 2026, and is based on version v2699 of the game, a 2023 build available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. This version differs from the older PS3 and Xbox 360 editions, and it is adapted to run directly on the Switch's ARM processor, rather than through alternative methods like Linux, Android, or remote play, which were previously used for such ports. Early tests of the Switch version showed performance issues, with frame rates ranging between 11 and 22 frames per second, along with display bugs, crashes, and problems with saving progress. However, the developers have since made improvements, including better sound quality, functional menu music, and the resolution of several technical defects. On August 25, M0jso released what he claims is the final version of the port, though it still requires a modified Switch capable of running homebrew software—software not officially signed by Nintendo. To use the port, players must already own a compatible copy of GTA V and generate part of the game’s content themselves, as the developers do not distribute the full files. The project is believed to be based on leaked source code from GTA V, which could expose it to legal action by Take-Two, the game’s publisher. For now, the port is more of a technical achievement than a practical way to play the game on the go, as it requires an unofficial console, lacks an official download, and remains in a legally uncertain position. Despite these challenges, M0jso has already set his sights on a native Android version of GTA V, though no release date has been announced. The Switch port highlights the ongoing efforts of the gaming community to bring popular titles to new platforms, but it also underscores the complexities and risks involved in such endeavors.
