Rockstar Games Briefly Lists Nintendo Switch for GTA+ Subscription Service In a fleeting but notable update, Rockstar Games—one of the industry’s most influential publishers—momentarily included the Nintendo Switch among supported platforms for its GTA+ subscription service.

This fleeting reference, spotted on the official GTA+ website before being quietly removed, has captured the attention of both fans and industry experts.

While the listing has since reverted to only PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series platforms, the brief mention underlines growing demand for expanded support across gaming hardware, especially for Nintendo Switch owners. GTA+, Rockstar Games’ subscription service launched in March 2022, offers members a rotating selection of classic titles from the developer’s acclaimed library, in addition to exclusive content for Grand Theft Auto Online, such as in-game items, vehicles, and cosmetics.

As of July 2024, GTA+ remains officially available exclusively on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Subscribers currently pay a monthly fee of £6.99 / €7.99 / $7.99 for the service. Industry insiders and social media observers, including accounts like @TezFunz2, were among the first to note the inclusion of the Nintendo Switch on the GTA+ website under the ‘Games Included With GTA+’ section.

However, the mention was removed within hours, fueling discussion but offering no concrete confirmation about future expansion to Nintendo’s hybrid console. Among the notable RockStar titles featured in the GTA+ subscription are Red Dead Redemption, L.A.

Noire, and Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition—all of which are currently available for purchase separately on the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop.

Additional classics like Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Chinatown Wars round out the roster.

Despite these titles’ availability on Switch, the online benefits tied to GTA V remain exclusive to platforms hosting the game, as Grand Theft Auto V has not been released for Nintendo Switch. Responding to emerging rumors, a Rockstar Games spokesperson did not provide comment regarding the Switch listing.

At present, no official statement has clarified whether GTA+ will arrive on Nintendo Switch, nor has a formal announcement addressed any adjustments to the subscription’s platform availability.

Industry observers caution that, in the absence of definitive confirmation, players should not assume imminent support for Nintendo hardware. As the Nintendo Switch maintains its strong market presence and the legacy of Grand Theft Auto remains vibrant on multiple gaming systems, Rockstar’s fleeting site update has underscored widespread enthusiasm for greater cross-platform availability.

For now, Switch users eager for bundled access to Rockstar’s classics via GTA+ should monitor future announcements, as current service access remains limited to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series owners per verified information from Rockstar Games.
