Grand Theft Auto VI remains one of the most-discussed upcoming releases in the games industry, and conversation about which platforms will host the title has been constant.
The series is developed by Rockstar Games and published by Take-Two Interactive; its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto V, launched on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2013 and has since been ported to newer PlayStation hardware.
That longevity — bolstered by the persistent popularity of GTA Online — is a major reason any platform inclusion for GTA VI draws intense interest.
In an interview with Variety, Nintendo of America president Devon Pritchard was asked whether Grand Theft Auto VI might appear on Nintendo’s next home console, commonly referred to as Nintendo Switch 2 in public discussion.
Pritchard delivered a brief, noncommittal response.
Paraphrasing her remarks: she said the question of whether GTA VI will be released on Nintendo hardware is a matter for Take-Two and Rockstar to decide, and that Nintendo had nothing to announce at this time.
That statement places the responsibility for platform decisions squarely with the publisher and developer.
It neither confirms nor rules out a Switch 2 release, and it mirrors the cautious public posture Nintendo often adopts on third-party launches.
Historically, Rockstar and Take-Two have managed platform rollouts on their own timetable; recent entries and re-releases from the Grand Theft Auto catalog have appeared on a range of systems when those companies chose to pursue ports.
Nintendo’s hybrid platforms have hosted Grand Theft Auto content before.
Notably, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy — The Definitive Edition was released on Nintendo Switch alongside other consoles, demonstrating that Rockstar and Take-Two have previously supported Nintendo hardware when they deemed it appropriate.
For fans awaiting an official announcement, the locus of confirmation remains with Rockstar Games and Take-Two.
For now, Nintendo Switch and potential future Nintendo hardware owners should watch official channels — Rockstar’s announcements, Take-Two statements, and publisher posts on platforms such as the Nintendo eShop and Nintendo Direct — for any confirmed news regarding GTA VI.
The Variety interview underscores that platform availability is a business decision controlled by the developer and publisher rather than Nintendo.
