What Did Take-Two Say?

During Take-Two Interactive’s latest earnings call, CEO Strauss Zelnick hinted at the possibility of GTA VI coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. While the game is currently confirmed only for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, Zelnick’s comments have sparked excitement among Nintendo fans.

Zelnick stated:

  • “We’ve had obviously a long-standing relationship with Nintendo and we’ve supported the platform when it made sense for the individual release.”
  • “There was a time when Nintendo platforms [were] really geared at younger audiences and that was reflected in our release schedule. And now today with Switch and potentially with Switch 2, the Switch device can support any audience.”
  • “As you may have noted, Civilization VII is now on Switch. So while we have nothing specific to report, we actually would fully expect to support Switch [2].”

While this isn’t a direct confirmation, it suggests that Take-Two is open to bringing GTA VI to the Switch 2 if the hardware can support it.

Why This Is a Big Deal

The idea of GTA VI on a Nintendo console is unexpected, as the franchise has traditionally been associated with more powerful platforms. However, the success of the Nintendo Switch and its ability to attract a broader audience has changed the landscape.

If the Switch 2 can handle the technical demands of GTA VI, it could open the game up to a whole new player base, further solidifying its status as one of the most anticipated releases in gaming history.

What’s Next for GTA 6?

For now, GTA VI is still set to launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S in Fall 2025, with a PC release likely to follow. While a Switch 2 version remains speculative, Zelnick’s comments have planted the seed of possibility.
