Take-Two shuts down GTA 5 Switch and Android fan ports
Take-Two Interactive sent a cease-and-desist letter to a modder group that created native ports of Grand Theft Auto V for the Nintendo Switch and was working on an Android version. The project lead said all work is ending immediately, with no handoff or public code release, citing legal risk and a lack of viable legal defense. Both ports reportedly used leaked GTA 5 source code.
- Cease-and-desist sent over unofficial GTA 5 ports
- Switch and planned Android versions are both canceled
