A social-media post by a user calling themselves Nash Weedle has attracted renewed attention by claiming that Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI) is in development for a Nintendo Switch 2 with a 2027 release window.
The post was translated and reported by outlets that picked up the social thread, but the claims remain unverified and have not been confirmed by Rockstar Games or Nintendo.
Background
Rockstar Games officially announced Grand Theft Auto VI with a trailer in December 2023 and has described the title as an active development project.
Rockstar has not released platform-specific confirmations for every system beyond the broad statements typical of a long-term production cycle.
Nintendo has not announced or confirmed any successor to the Nintendo Switch under the official name "Nintendo Switch 2." As a result, any claim that GTA VI will appear on a Switch successor should be treated as unconfirmed until companies issue formal statements.
What the leak claims (rewritten)
The user alleged that several technical obstacles to a port had been cleared, that specialists experienced in porting to Switch-like hardware had been subcontracted to assist development, and that insiders told the poster the title would not ship in the current year but could target 2027.
The poster also said multiple sources had independently relayed similar information.
Journalistic assessment and verified context
Those assertions are being reported strictly as claims from an unverified source.
Nash Weedle is a social-media leaker whose previous predictions have not consistently aligned with confirmed announcements, and Rockstar Games has made no public declaration about a Nintendo Switch 2 version of GTA VI or a 2027 release date.
Historically, Rockstar has released Grand Theft Auto titles on major home consoles and PC; any move to bring GTA VI to a portable or Nintendo platform would likely be announced through Rockstar's official channels or via a Nintendo Direct-style presentation.
What to watch next
For verified information, monitor Rockstar Games' official communications (Rockstar Newswire, official social accounts) and announcements from Nintendo.
Any legitimate news about platforms, release dates, or eShop availability will come from those primary sources rather than third-party leaks.
Summary
The social-media claims that GTA VI is being ported to a so-called Nintendo Switch 2 for 2027 are unverified.
Rockstar and Nintendo have not confirmed such a port, and readers should await official announcements before treating the report as factual.
