A group of modders have managed to get Grand Theft Auto V up and running on a Nintendo Switch, albeit with mixed results.
Last year, the source code for GTA V leaked, making it available to the modding team known as Superstar South (an apparent play on GTA developer "Rockstar North"). The group then announced last month that it planned to develop a native Switch port of GTA V.
Now, it's shown the fruits of that labour in a post on X (Twitter) courtesy of @SuperstarS31668.

U.S. President Joe Biden has signed a foreign aid package that also included a bill to ban TikTok if the app's parent company doesn't divest it within a year.
That means the clock has started for China-based ByteDance, which now has an initial nine months to sort out a deal. The president could give the company a three-month extension if there's progress on a deal.
TikTok spokesperson Alex Haurek told The Verge that the company plans to challenge the law in court.

Google could have lots of home hardware on the way this year. Following up on rumours about a possible new 4K Chromecast, a teardown of the Google Home app revealed evidence of a new Nest Audio speaker and a Nest Hub Max.
9to5Google performed the teardown, which involves cracking open an app's APK file and looking at lines of code. Sometimes, teardowns find code for unreleased features or products, though it's worth keeping in mind that interpretation of the findings can be imperfect. Some features found in the code might not see a final release, or could change substantially before launch.

Sadly, all good things must come to an end.
Such is the case for Shōgun, one of the best new TV shows in recent memory. Based on James Clavell's 1975 novel of the same name, the FX series is set in 1600 Japan and follows Lord Yoshii Toranaga as he fights for his life against the Council of Regents.
The series, which has garnered significant critical acclaim, just wrapped up its 10-episode run on Disney+. With Shögun Tuesdays officially over, you'll likely be left looking for something else to fill that fresh hole in your heart.
