The Nintendo Switch 2 port of GTA 6 is reportedly being worked on, and the developers have managed to overcome all the technical hurdles, according to new reports from insiders. Earlier, there were already some rumors of a Switch 2 version being in development, but fans shoved it away, given that GTA 6 will be quite demanding. This timeline would also align with GTA 6’s anticipated PC release, given that Rockstar is only releasing the game on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S at the time of launch. Getting a game of GTA 6’s scale, which is estimated at just under 200 GB in file size with a massive open-world Leonida map, onto a handheld device is no small undertaking.
Nash Weedle’s X post further adds that the GTA 6 Switch 2 port is essentially being developed thanks to a “subcontract,” with several specialist studios from outside Rockstar. They are reportedly helping develop and release an optimised version of the upcoming game on the Nintendo Switch. The fact that Weedle specifically notes that technical hurdles have been overcome is the most encouraging detail in the leak, suggesting the port is not merely in concept stages but well into active development with real momentum behind it.
