Nintendo is allegedly working with Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games to port the upcoming GTA VI to Switch 2.
Day One founder and podcast co-host Shpeshal_Nick took to Twitter/X to react to a claim from insider Nash Weedle, according to which GTA VI is coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. Nick mentioned that while he hasn’t received concrete information about the game coming to Nintendo’s current-gen console, he has heard that the console maker is currently working with Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games to try and make it happen.
Back in November, 2025, insider Nate the Hate claimed that Rockstar Games had been doing tests to bring GTA VI to the Nintendo Switch 2. However, he cautioned that this doesn’t always translate into a release. “I know an effort has been made to see if they can bring it to the platform. I don’t know the current state of that effort,” he said.
Nate later added that experimentation of this kind is common, noting in a follow up post that publishers routinely test hardware without committing to full development. He explained, “Experimenting doesn’t equal ‘in development’ & companies often test to see if a game is possible on hardware.” These statements align with the general pattern of early testing often done in the industry, which can range from basic feasibility assessments to more in-depth performance checks that still may not advance beyond preliminary stages.
It was recently reported during the the Rock and Borys podcast that GTA VI is planned to launch with both a 30 fps Quality mode and a 60 fps Performance ,mode on PS5 and Xbox Series X. He mentioned getting this information form a “very credible” source close to Rockstar Games. Meanwhile, the Xbox Series S version will be limited to a single 30 fps mode. Nintendo Switch 2 ports of multiplatform titles are visually similar their counterparts on Microsoft’s less capable current-gen console. If Rockstar Games can work around the CPU limitations of the console-handheld hybrid, GTA VI may end up on the platform at some point in the future.
