Rumor: GTA 6 Nintendo Switch 2
The list of platforms for Grand Theft Auto VI might be longer than initially expected, according to new rumors circulating online. Several insiders have suggested that Rockstar Games is actively exploring the possibility of bringing the highly anticipated title to the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
The rumor was sparked by Spanish insider Nash Weedle, who claimed, “I can confirm that a GTA VI port for Switch 2 is in the works.” While the original post was deleted, the claim was noted by other leakers. Fellow insider NateTheHate offered a more cautious perspective, stating that Rockstar was conducting technical “tests” to see if a port is feasible, clarifying that such tests don’t always guarantee a final release.
This news has split the gaming community. On one hand, the potential to play a game of GTA VI’s scale on a handheld device is an exciting prospect. The commercial incentive is also clear, as pairing one of the best-selling games of all time with Nintendo’s hugely popular console family could be a lucrative move.
However, many are deeply skeptical due to the immense technical challenges. GTA VI is being built to leverage the power of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and scaling down its vast, detailed world of Leonida to run on a hybrid console would be a monumental task. One skeptical fan commented, “The raw specs at hand here make a simulation the size of GTA completely unrealistic on the Switch 2.”

The prevailing theory among doubters is that if GTA VI does come to the platform, it would likely be via cloud streaming, similar to titles like Control and Hitman 3 on the current Switch, rather than a native port. For now, this remains an unverified rumor, but it highlights the immense interest in seeing how the next generation of Nintendo hardware will handle blockbuster third-party games.
