Take‑Two has shut down Paralympics Productions, the team that produced a native port of GTA 5 for the Nintendo Switch, as of October 3 2026.
Background
Founded by former modder Mojso, Paralympics Productions had been adapting Rockstar Games’ open‑world title for the Switch’s ARM hardware, sidestepping the console’s usual streaming approach. The project had drawn attention from the modding community and fans alike.
Reason for closure
Take‑Two issued a cease‑and‑desist to Mojso, citing Rockstar’s freshly updated guidelines that forbid game modification for unapproved platforms. The notice halted both the Switch performance update and an in‑progress Android port that the team had planned to release.
Employees and supporters learned the shutdown date would be October 3 from Mojso’s own public statement. He apologized for falling short of expectations, thanked Take‑Two for their “mercy,” and confirmed the company’s definitive end.
Aftermath
Followers speculated that the decision stemmed from Mojso’s poll asking whether an Android version should follow the Switch release or if a paid online mode could exist on unofficial devices—moves that would conflict with Rockstar’s policy. The company’s updated rule reads, “Do not modify our games to operate on consoles, hardware devices, or other platforms where they have not been officially released.”
With GTA 6 on the verge of launch and Rockstar tightening its modding stance, the once‑promised Switch rendition of GTA 5 will instead remain a completed project with no official release.
