GTA 6 on Switch 2? 'That's a Conversation for Take-Two and Rockstar,' Nintendo Says

Nintendo of America president Devon Pritchard recently commented on the company's plans, including theme parks and both first- and third-party games. With the upcoming launch of Switch 2, the platform is now open to more third-party titles that had previously been absent from Nintendo consoles. An example cited was Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4.

As for GTA 6, the Switch 2's enhanced capabilities could theoretically support its development, given its ability to run high-end games like Cyberpunk 2077 and the recently remastered The Witcher 3. However, it remains unclear whether Rockstar Games will release a Switch 2 port, especially since the game is set to launch on the less powerful Xbox Series S next month.

When asked about GTA 6 on Switch 2, Pritchard stated that this conversation would be between Take-Two and Rockstar, and he would not provide any announcements at this time. Despite Rockstar's previous releases on Switch, such as Red Dead Redemption, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, and L.A. Noire, there has been no mention of GTA 6 on the platform.

Some might wonder if games like Manhunt would be too mature for Nintendo's target audience of ages 5 to 95. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is set to launch on November 5, just two weeks before GTA 6, demonstrating Nintendo's commitment to providing diverse gaming experiences. The upcoming launches have been compared to a video game Barbenheimer, with both Nintendo and Rockstar capitalizing on the end-of-year gaming landscape.
