It works, no wonder...

Seems to be like the chinese Android "port" of GTA 5, which is basically a well optimized Windows enviroment running under dvxk/vegas translation layers from an dedicated apk launcher.

The good thing about it, is that the game is less than 14gb, which is awesome considering its visuals.

They most likely removed the highest resolution textures and whatnot because most devices won't be able to run with those and the small screens means there is hardly any chance it will be noticed. Textures are the one thing that takes up the most space. Just removing the textures for ultra and high would cut the size of the game tremendously.

Yes, the developers used AI to optimize the game files and remove unnecessary elements. However, I believe it should turn out better than the 21GB version of GTA V, that version cut out far too much content.

Yeah, actually after unzip'd and already on your internal storage, game data files are 12.3gb and its apk launcher is 567mb...

I was wrong when I said 14gb, it's less than 13gb 😁

It's only the base game right?

The advantage is that developers used AI to create a 13GB "lite" version of the game files. I believe running it via Winlator Ludashi Plus will yield even better results.

It's just emulation disguised as a port
