"Take-Two has said it "fully expects" to support Switch 2, and indicated that no game was off the table for Nintendo's next console."

"We've had obviously a long-standing relationship with Nintendo," Zelnick began, "and we've supported the platform when it made sense for the individual release.

"There was a time when Nintendo platforms are 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 7 is now on Switch. So while we have nothing specific to report, we actually would fully expect to support Switch [2].

 

[KyoZz]

And we already have a trailer for the Switch 2 version!

Spoiler

 

[RetroGamingUK]

GTA 5 and Red Dead 2 certainly

 

[coachmcguirk91]

I highly doubt Rockstar port over GTA 6. They could have ported GTA 5 years ago and didn't. Probably because Rockstar knew GTA online would never work on the Switch. I don't see Rockstar bending over backwards to get GTA 6 Online working on Switch 2. Way too much of a headache for a console base that by and large doesn't buy mature games

 

[Fermbiz]

GTA Demake

And we already have a trailer for the Switch 2 version!

...

That looks too good for NES/SMS, and *way* too good for C64. Maybe TG16 or Genesis.

 

[Woopah]

I can see Switch 2 version releasing alongside the PC one in 2026.

 

[Pandawan]

Technically it should be possible. XBOX SeS is not that more powerfull than Switch 2. And if Take Two wants it they can.

 

[LordOcidax]

And some people still doubting that GTA6 is coming to Switch 2

 

[nordique]

I need to see it to believe it

Id get it on switch 2 if it looked good enough

 

[Banjo64]

I think GTA 6 is well off the table but it would be nice to get Red Dead II on it and maybe even GTA 5 which will continue to be a good game even after GTA 6.

Why?

 

[Scrawnton]

Here for the salt.

 

[Fake]

GTAV would be a better choise.

 

[Zacfoldor]

YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Wooxsvan]

if this thing runs at a locked 30fps i'll eat my shoe

 

[kiphalfton]

Translation "we want that Nintendo user base money"

Also in regards to GTA V not releasing on the original Switch, even miracles have upper limits.

 

[64gigabyteram]

GTAV would be a better choise.

And GTAIV while we're at it

 

[Fake]

And GTAIV while we're at it

IDK, they should try RDR2 first to see how their new engine behave on the NS.

I saying this because GTAV runs on XBOX360 and PS3, so NS should have no problem running.

 

[LordOcidax]

if this thing runs at a locked 30fps i'll eat my shoe

GTA 5 runs at 15fps on PS3/360 and sold like 20 million first month… We are going to buy the game no matter what…

 

[64gigabyteram]

if RDR2 could run on an Xbox One, its running on a Switch 2

 

[LordOcidax]

GTA 6 is going to run on Series S and Steam Deck… Is going to run on Switch 2 too…

If there is a Xbox Series S version what makes you think that it's off the table for a device releasing about 5 years later?

Make some cut backs & it should be doable.

I'm talking about the regular NS.

We better wait for NS2 to release to give us an ideia of what he can do. Between Xbox One and PS4, sure, but again as I said, they should put RDR2 in first to see how their engine plays.
Their never tried a Nintendo System before. They need to take into account the ARM cpu, the Nintendo gaming API and all sort of things. Unless they resource on companies like 'Saber' to make the port.

Choose your size… For the record.

RDR2 new engine...

Are you even reading?

'to try RDR2 first to see how their new engine behave on a NS'

 

[Ristifer]

Nintendo moving up to teenagers now.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

They'll probably want to get GTA5 and GTA Online on the Switch 2 ASAP. Pretty big potential revenue stream there.

 

[LordOcidax]

Thats doesn’t matter…

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

Nowhere does he actually pledge GTA6 for Switch 2.

Don't make port begging threads, OP. It's a terrible look.

 

[Deerock71]

Could IV and V be launch titles? Switch 2 will become the new Earth's core. This could be the seventh seal being broken.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

"There are those who said this day will never come. What are they to say now?"

 

[Gamer79]

It would be awesome if Nintendo revealed the Switch 2 and then along with a trailer of GTA VI running on it. You could even include a side hussle of GTA 5 "switch edition"

 

[BlackTron]

And now I lean back and watch as the world burns with the salt of a thousand tears over the next months

 

[Banjo64]

Why?

GTA V is a PS3/360 era game despite the servers being shut down on those platforms in 2021. The game could have easily ran on the Switch, even a gimped version. Rockstar never pursued it.

I’d be happy to be proven wrong but I don’t see it. I think the Series S version is going to be absolutely ass 720p 30fps with compromises and don’t see how they could get it on a console like the Switch 2 which will be weaker than a Steam Deck.

 

[Kikorin]

Depends on how much Nintendo improved the online infrastructure with Switch 2 and if the console is again a huge success. Obviously, if is it worth from a business perspective, they'll find a way to make it works.

According to the leaked specs the Switch 2 is more capable than the Steam Deck in handheld mode.

 

[EverydayBeast]

This isn’t the first time a mature game was released on a Nintendo console, cod, assassins creed, mass effect etc.

 

[Sebastian1295]

Technically it should be possible. XBOX SeS is not that more powerfull than Switch 2. And if Take Two wants it they can.

The series S is alot more powerful than the switch 2 and it dosen't have to lower the clockspeeds to preserve battery life like the switch 2 will. GTA 6 will look like vaseline was smeared on your tv screen on the switch 2 and will be the worst way to play by far.

 

[rofif]

The kids are 35 years old now

 

[Sebastian1295]

GTA 6 is going to run on Series S and Steam Deck… Is going to run on Switch 2 too…

GtA 6 isn't being specifically developed for the steam deck. It'll run like crap on their too. Just because something is playable dosen't mean it's a good way to play the game. The steam deck and switch 2 will run GTA 6 but it'll look like crap.

 

[Ozriel]

Technically it should be possible. XBOX SeS is not that more powerfull than Switch 2. And if Take Two wants it they can.

If the speculation that the Switch 2 is around on par with base PS4, It’d be significantly more powerful than the Switch 2.

People are not saying that GTA6 is going to look on Switch 2 the same as the Series S version, people are saying that the Switch 2 is perfectly capable of run the game, there is not technical limitation.

 

[SHA]

So it's been confirmed that GTAVI is a 9.5th gen game.

 

[light2x]

GTA VI 5 fps edition

That remains to be seen but we know the technology in the Switch 2 based on the famiboard leaks. All I’ll say is it’s going to be underclocked for battery life and it makes no sense to me that Valve revised the Steam Deck last year and couldn’t make it as small as the Switch 2 nor give the thing a respectable battery life still. Logic dictates to me that with the Switch 2 size it’s still not going to be as powerful as a Steam Deck,

 

[64gigabyteram]

Valve revised the Steam Deck last year and couldn’t make it as small as the Switch 2 nor give the thing a respectable battery life still.

the controls have a lot to do with that. and 2.5 to 3 hours under heavy load is respectable still, wtf?
DLSS will hard carry Switch 2 so even if its less powerful after the underclocks its probably still gonna do well. enough for GTAVI anyways, maybe after a year of optimizations & port work like PC
