Rockstar May Be Bringing GTA 6 to Switch 2 — According to New Testing Leaks
The Only Confirmed Facts
Grand Theft Auto 6 is officially launching on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026, after being delayed from its original May window. Rockstar has never announced a Switch 2 version.
Then the Leaks Hit
Multiple insiders now claim that Rockstar has been actively testing GTA 6 on the Switch 2’s development hardware. These aren’t vague rumors — the reports specifically reference in-house tests, suggesting Rockstar is checking whether the game can realistically run on Nintendo’s next-generation system.
Even so, testing does not equal approval, and Rockstar hasn’t acknowledged any plans publicly.
Why These Tests Are a Big Deal
Reported Switch 2 capabilities include:
- 4K up to 60 FPS (docked)
- Nvidia DLSS upscaling support
- A substantial leap in GPU/CPU power
That combination could make GTA 6 technically feasible — even if heavily optimized or scaled down.
The Delay Has Nothing to Do With Nintendo
Despite speculation, the move to November 2026 was not influenced by Switch 2 testing. Internal reports point to polish and optimization on the confirmed platforms as the only reason.
What a Switch 2 Version Would Look Like
If Rockstar greenlights the project, expect:
- A later release date, well after PS5/Xbox
- A version custom-tailored to Switch 2 limits
- Lower resolution textures, reduced lighting, smaller draw distance
- A completely separate development cycle
This would not be a simultaneous launch — not even close.
Where Rockstar Stands With Nintendo Right Now
The only confirmed Nintendo-related project connected to Rockstar is the modern Red Dead Redemption ports handled by partner studios. No GTA 6 involvement has been confirmed.
Bottom Line
The rumors are loud for a reason:
GTA 6 has reportedly been tested on Switch 2 hardware.
But until Rockstar officially comments, treat it as possibility, not promise. If it happens, the port will arrive later, with heavy optimization, and only if Switch 2 meets Rockstar’s performance standards.
