Rockstar games are usually the last to be released on Nintendo platforms. The original "Red Dead Redemption" came to Switch more than ten years after its release, and "GTA5" has not yet released a handheld version. However, a recent internal message has attracted attention, suggesting that the release strategy of "GTA6" may break this convention.
Podcast host and content creator Kiwi Talkz issued a statement on the According to Kiwi Talkz, the informant has repeatedly revealed that the news is accurate, and has been insisting for several months that "GTA6" will be released on the Switch 2 on the same day as Sony and Microsoft platforms.
Kiwi Talkz said he initially thought the claim was "complete nonsense" and the bet was made. According to the agreement, if Rockstar does not officially announce the Switch 2 version before early May, Kiwi Talkz will win. Regarding the setting of the May deadline, the informant explained in the comment area that the bet was originally determined when the internal release date of "GTA6" was set for May 2026. Although it was recently officially announced that the game will be postponed to November 19, 2026, the bet period remains unchanged. Some analysts pointed out that May is the eve of a major press conference for parent company Take-Two Interactive, at which time a third supported platform may be announced or a third trailer may be released.
At the same time, another news has added uncertainty to the prospect of "GTA6" landing on Switch2. Well-known whistleblower Nate The Hate recently stated that the development process of the Switch 2 version of "Star Sky" was not smooth. Some analysts believe that CPU performance may be the main bottleneck. If Switch 2 is unable to handle the computing requirements of "Starry Sky", then whether "GTA6", which has higher CPU requirements, can successfully land on the platform may face greater challenges. As of now, neither Rockstar nor Nintendo has officially responded to relevant rumors.
