Grand Theft Auto VI on Nintendo Switch 2 has been a hot topic within the gaming community, fueled by recent industry rumors and growing anticipation for Nintendo's next-generation hardware.
Rockstar Games, renowned for its critically acclaimed open-world series, is developing Grand Theft Auto VI, set to follow in the footsteps of its best-selling predecessor, Grand Theft Auto V, which has shipped over 185 million units worldwide since its original release.
Meanwhile, Nintendo is preparing to launch the highly anticipated Switch 2, its latest hardware evolution expected to build upon the runaway success of the Nintendo Switch, which has surpassed 125 million units sold globally. The conversation around a potential Grand Theft Auto VI release on Nintendo Switch 2 resumed after a recent rumor circulated by Nash Weddle, a figure in the online leaker community noted for inconsistent reliability.
Weddle claimed Rockstar Games was bringing GTA VI to Nintendo’s upcoming platform, stirring the fanbase and prompting responses from more established industry watchers. Well-known gaming insider and leaker NateTheHate addressed the rumor, providing important clarity to the situation.
Paraphrasing his statement, NateTheHate shared that he had previously heard Rockstar Games was experimenting with getting Grand Theft Auto VI to run on Nintendo Switch 2 hardware.
He emphasized, however, that early development tests do not guarantee a game will be released on the platform, reminding fans that technical trials are only one part of the complex game development process. "Efforts have been made to explore the possibility of bringing Grand Theft Auto VI to Switch 2, but conducting tests doesn't automatically equate to a confirmed release," NateTheHate explained.
He further added that he does not have current information on the present status of those efforts, urging the community not to treat such rumors as confirmation. Rockstar Games has a storied history of supporting Nintendo platforms in select instances, notably with previous titles like L.A.
Noire on Nintendo Switch and the Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, which found a home on the eShop.
However, large-scale franchises such as GTA have rarely launched simultaneously across all major platforms when new Nintendo hardware debuts. As of this publication, Rockstar Games has not officially announced any plans to bring Grand Theft Auto VI to Nintendo Switch 2.
The title is widely anticipated for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S following its reveal trailer, which amassed over 90 million views within 24 hours upon debut. Nintendo has also not provided an official release date for the Switch 2, and upcoming Nintendo Direct presentations or eShop updates are closely watched for news on third-party support.
Until Rockstar Games or Nintendo issues official statements, any news regarding Grand Theft Auto VI for Switch 2 remains unverified. For now, fans should remain cautious and look to reputable sources as the industry awaits detailed announcements regarding both Grand Theft Auto VI's platform availability and the Nintendo Switch 2's launch lineup.
