Nintendo fans have received fantastic news. Take-Two Interactive, the American video game publisher behind gaming giants like Rockstar Games and 2K, has formally confirmed plans to support the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. This announcement raises questions about what it really means for gamers and if titles such as GTA 6 could arrive on Nintendo's next console. Let's explore the speculation and possibilities.
Take-Two's Official Nod to Switch 2
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick stated in an earnings call that the company "stands ready" to support Nintendo platforms whenever it makes sense. He added that Nintendo's audience has indeed changed. Unlike prior Nintendo consoles, the Switch appeals to a much broader range of users. This may be driving Take-Two's growing interest in the platform.
Consider that games like Civilization VII are already on the current Switch. Comments by Zelnick suggest this is just the beginning of a possibly stronger partnership with Nintendo into the Switch 2 era.
GTA 6 on the Switch 2? Speculation Begins
The Internet is filled with rumors. A frequently asked question is whether this means GTA 6 finally comes to a Nintendo Switch 2. While many might consider it unlikely, confirmation of support gives hope to some gamers.
Beyond GTA 6, there is discussion about other big titles like Borderlands 4, or ports of existing hits like GTA 5 or Red Dead Redemption 2. However, technical feasibility is a major question. The exact power of the Switch 2 remains unknown. It is uncertain if it can handle the graphical demands of modern, AAA games.
What Take-Two Actually Said
"Look, we've had obviously a long-standing relationship with Nintendo. And we've supported the platform when it made sense for the individual release. now today with Switch and potentially with Switch 2, the Switch device can support any audience. And as you note. Civ VII is available now on Switch. So, while we have nothing specific to report, we actually would fully expect to support Switch."
This response from Zelnick is encouraging and carefully measured. "Fully expect to support Switch" is not a confirmation for GTA 6 at launch. It is a gesture of intent, recognizing the wider audience of Switch devices. It hints at possibilities in the future. It leaves all options open, from basic ports to potential surprises for other Take-Two titles.
Final Thoughts: Hopeful but Realistic
Take-Two's support for Nintendo Switch 2 is undeniably positive. It suggests a greater commitment to Nintendo's platform and opens exciting avenues for future game releases. Whether this leads to GTA 6 or Borderlands 4 on Switch 2 is yet to be seen. However, this confirmation is enough to excite Nintendo fans about potential future offerings.
