GTA 6 Coming to Nintendo Switch 2
The platform lineup for Grand Theft Auto VI might be more expansive than initially thought. While the game is officially confirmed for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, a new rumor suggests that Nintendo is keen to bring the blockbuster title to its upcoming console, the Switch 2.
The speculation comes from industry insider Reece Reilly (Kiwi Talkz), who claims that discussions will likely take place between Nintendo, Rockstar Games, and its parent company, Take-Two Interactive. While emphasizing that this is currently speculative, Reilly stated, “I can guarantee that Nintendo will be trying to negotiate with Rockstar behind the scenes to get GTA VI.”
This move would not be entirely unprecedented but would certainly be ambitious. Rockstar has a history of supporting Nintendo platforms with tailored versions of its games, though often long after their initial release. The original Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars was a critical hit on the Nintendo DS, and LA Noire received a full port to the Switch. Most recently, the original Red Dead Redemption was released on the Switch, proving that Rockstar is willing to adapt its catalog for Nintendo’s hardware.

However, porting a technically demanding game like GTA VI to a hybrid console would present a significant challenge. The game is expected to push the graphical limits of the PS5 and Xbox Series X, and scaling it down to run smoothly on a portable device would require substantial optimization. If such a port were to happen, it would likely follow the PC version and arrive well after the initial console launch.
For Nintendo, securing a day-and-date release for a title of this magnitude would be a monumental coup, dramatically expanding the Switch 2’s appeal to a core audience that traditionally gravitates toward Sony and Microsoft consoles. For players, it would mean the unprecedented ability to experience one of the world’s biggest games in a truly portable format.

As with all rumors, this should be taken with caution until official word is provided by Rockstar or Nintendo. For now, Grand Theft Auto VI remains scheduled for a May 26, 2026, release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
