A New GTA VI Trailer Is Here, but We Still Don’t Know if the Game Is Coming to Switch 2

Grand Theft Auto VI won’t get successful 2025, but arsenic a consolation prize, Rockstar Games dropped a video featuring a fewer snippets of gameplay for what’s inactive 1 of the astir anticipated games acceptable to get adjacent year. That slice-of-life trailer cements conscionable however small we cognize astir Rockstar’s ultra-hyped unfastened world. The large question connected everyone’s mind: volition GTA VI ever motorboat connected Nintendo Switch 2, and if determination are plans, volition it get connected the May 26, 2026 merchandise date, oregon sometime after?

Rockstar’s caller leafage for GTA VI offers a fewer scant details astir the game’s communicative and its expansive formed of transgression characters. Players volition terrorize Vice City and the surrounding authorities of Leonida Keys arsenic Jason Duval, a subject vet moving for cause dealers. His spouse successful crime, Lucia Caminos, is an ex-con who wants to marque her dreams of a bully beingness a world by immoderate means necessary. At the apical of the page, Rockstar says the upcoming open-world crippled volition beryllium disposable connected PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S astatine launch. It makes nary notation of PC oregon Switch 2 availability.

Rockstar usually takes a afloat twelvemonth earlier it publishes its games to different platforms, similar it did for Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 connected PC (these ports are reportedly more complicated than they seem). Still, the institution has worked with Nintendo to motorboat past titles similar the archetypal Red Dead Redemption connected the archetypal Switch (though not the caller remastered version). Judging by analyst expectations and its massive question of preorders, the Switch 2 is acceptable to beryllium the biggest console merchandise of the past respective years. The video crippled manufacture is relying connected GTA VI to beryllium a likewise landmark release. Publishers besides anticipation GTA steadfast Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar volition merchantability the crippled for $100, mounting a caller terms ceiling for crippled prices beyond today’s burgeoning $80 AAA crippled standard.

One manufacture expert who spoke to Gizmodo mentioned Nintendo whitethorn not admit the property of the ultra-violent Grand Theft Auto bid yet coming to its mostly family-friendly platform. Still, Take-Two has each crushed to privation GTA VI connected Switch 2, and Strauss Zelnick, the company’s CEO, said arsenic overmuch during a recent net call. Zelnick hedged his bets, telling investors that Nintendo’s consoles aren’t conscionable geared for younger players. He cited games similar Civilization VII being connected the Switch 2 arsenic an illustration of the handheld’s aging demographic. He added that his institution “actually would afloat expect to enactment Switch [2].”

Zelnick precocious had to assuage shareholders’ disappointment at the GTA VI delay. A Switch 2 announcement would bash a batch to assistance successful that regard, though we’ve not heard thing official. “We’ve had—obviously—a long-standing narration with Nintendo,” Zelnick said during his February net report. “We’ve supported the level erstwhile it made consciousness for the idiosyncratic release.”

There’s besides the substance of whether oregon not the Switch 2 is up to snuff to tally GTA VI. The console’s Nvidia-made chipset is speculated to person show astir betwixt a PlayStation 4 and PS4 Pro. That being said, the Switch 2 is almighty capable to play Cyberpunk 2077, though lone astatine 1080p erstwhile docked and hooked up to a TV. CD Projekt Red worked straight with Nintendo connected the port, and developers recently said connected a Nintendo Creator’s Voice video the larboard whitethorn beryllium “the astir cyberpunk way” of playing the crippled acknowledgment to the summation of mouse and question controls connected the caller Joy-Cons 2. CD Projekt Red VP of concern improvement Jan Rosner told The Game Business that it makes consciousness for Cyberpunk 2077 to beryllium connected Switch 2 since “Nintendo’s assemblage is increasing and broadening.”

Cyberpunk 2077 volition acceptable connected a 64GB crippled card, though that’s not the norm. Many different large, third-party games volition beryllium loaded connected game-key cards, which are fundamentally a download codification for players to get the rubric connected Nintendo’s eShop. GTA VI volition apt beryllium a monolithic title, and it could easy devour up a immense chunk of the system’s 256GB built-in storage. Cyberpunk 2077 volition beryllium a somewhat antithetic acquisition than connected PC, particularly considering the quality successful the size of the game, though Rosner stressed that coming backmost to Night City volition inactive beryllium arsenic engrossing and convulsive arsenic before.

Even if CD Projekt Red had an casual clip porting to Switch 2, determination are different method aspects to consider. Rockstar’s games tally connected the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine, though we don’t cognize however overmuch accent it mightiness enactment connected some modern consoles, particularly erstwhile playing astatine 4K. The lone upscaling tech the crippled volition person entree to is the still-limited, AMD-based PSSR connected PlayStation 5 Pro, truthful Rockstar would beryllium amended disconnected making GTA VI accessible with the Nvidia-made upscaling connected the Switch 2. There’s inactive plentifulness of clip for Rockstar to yet fto america clasp up drugstores connected Nintendo’s family-friendly console.
