Two shuts down native GTA V Android project shortly before release
Key Points:
- Paralympics Productions, the group developing native GTA V ports for Android and Nintendo Switch, is shutting down due to legal action from Take-Two Interactive, with closure set for October 3.
- The Android port aimed to run GTA V natively on ARM hardware with improved performance and touchscreen controls, distinct from compatibility software methods.
- Take-Two issued a cease-and-desist order against the project, which was based on leaked GTA V source code rather than an independently created engine, leading the developer to avoid legal challenges.
- The source code will not be released to prevent further legal risks, and a planned performance update for the ports has been canceled.
- This development likely ends any official continuation of the project by other developers.
