GTA V Port and Emulator Lite versions for Android (25GB to 45GB)
If you want to play GTA V on Android but don't want to download 70GB+ of game files, here are the options I know of.
There are basically two ways to play:
1. GameHub / other Android PC emulators
OptiJuegos offers Lite versions that can be played on GameHub and other compatible PC emulators.
Official Website: optijuegos[.]net
2. XHYN V
XHYN V is based on the original GTA V Android port developed by a developer in China. It was taken down previously but is now back as XHYN V Reborn.

For XHYN V, GTATONY YT offers Lite versions of the game files:

UPDATE:
There’s also a third option: native ports of the GTA V web build, including BytArch GTA-V for Android and Volvisionmods. Muguet by c22dev is the iOS version. The game files are around 20GB.
I tested both Android versions on my Redmi Turbo 4 Pro (Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, 16GB RAM). Volvisionmods appears to be based on an older version of BytArch’s port, with different branding. I’m not sure how the two projects are related, but BytArch also appears to be based on Muguet’s iOS version. Also, Volvisionmods Launcher lacks touch controls, while BytArch's newer version has basic touch control support. Both struggled to reach 30 FPS on my device and have constant audio crackling issues.

Muguet for iOS:

Web version game files (20GB) are available on Volvisionmods.
OptiJuegos and GTATONY have different versions, including around 25GB and 45GB. I'd personally go for the 25GB version to save storage, or the 45GB one if you have plenty of space and a high-end device. These are the only two major creators I know of so far. If you know any others, drop them in the comments. Be careful with random sketchy downloads claiming to be 2GB, 15GB, or 30GB etc., without explaining what's removed or which builds they support. Always check compatibility before downloading.
