Nowadays, it is possible to play the actual GTA V without Cloud Gaming, but you need to fulfill some requirements.

Mobile requirements include 130 GB of free storage, Snapdragon 865 and above, 8 to 16 GB of RAM, and an Android OS phone.

The good thing is there are no requirements to root a device; non-rooted device users can easily install and play the game.
