GTA 6 on Switch 2? What Nintendo of America's President Said

• Current status: No Switch 2 version announced.
• Last verified: October 21, 2026.
• Sources checked: Variety, Nintendo Life, GameSpot.
• What is confirmed: platforms are PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, launching November 19, 2026.
• What is not confirmed yet: any Switch 2 or PC version. A PC release is reported for early 2027, unconfirmed.

Reported (Nintendo Life, October 9, from Variety):

"That's going to be a conversation for Take Two and Rockstar, but nothing to announce on my end at this time."

GameSpot headlined it "Ask Rockstar, Nintendo Says." Nintendo Life noted it's "not a straight-up denial," while saying it's best to assume no Switch 2 version for now.

Analysis:

• A platform holder almost never announces a third-party port. Pritchard's answer is the standard deflection, so it tells us very little either way.
• GTA 5 never came to Switch 1 or 2, and Red Dead Redemption 2 hasn't either, though the first Red Dead did (Nintendo Life).
• GTA 6 runs at 30fps on current consoles. Nintendo Life expects a port would need "quite a bit of tinkering," and readers in its comments point to the Switch 2's weaker CPU. That's an informed guess, not a fact.

Analysis: any real sign would come from Take-Two, not Nintendo, likely in earnings calls. Take-Two's next report is November 9. The company has said it aims to launch on any platform with "a meaningful audience" over time, while calling PC "more and more important" (Game Rant).

Nintendo passed the question to Rockstar. Don't buy a Switch 2 for GTA 6. If you want it at launch, it's PS5 or Xbox.
