    You can now play GTA V natively on a Nintendo Switch thanks to unofficial Homebrew port — game runs at 30 FPS but requires a jailbroken, overclocked Switch

    A team of modders have taken leaked source code and recompiled it to run the game logic natively on the Switch's Arm-based SoC. As long as you overclock the system, you can get a relatively-stable 30 FPS experience without major battery drain or overheating.
