A group of modders has ported Grand Theft Auto V to the Nintendo Switch. They used leaked source code to make the game logic run natively on the console's processor. The port runs at 30 frames per second. However, the system must be jailbroken and overclocked to function. The modders claim the experience is stable without causing overheating or rapid battery drain.

This unofficial port allows the game to run on the Switch's Arm-based system on a chip. The modders recompiled the game code specifically for this hardware. They note that an overclocked system is necessary to maintain the frame rate. Despite the performance boost, they report that the device does not suffer from overheating or significant battery drain.
