Nintendo of America president Devon Pritchard did not confirm or rule out a Switch 2 version of Grand Theft Auto VI. Asked about the possibility by Variety, she said: “That’s going to be a conversation for Take-Two and Rockstar, but nothing to announce on my end at this time.”

That leaves the question open, but it is not evidence that a port is in development. The available release listings put GTA 6 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S for November 19, 2026; they do not list Switch 2.

What Pritchard’s answer means
Pritchard pointed to Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive as the parties to make the platform decision. Her comment makes clear that Nintendo had no Switch 2 announcement to share; it does not reveal whether the companies have agreed to a port, are developing one or plan to release one later.

The distinction matters: “nothing to announce” is not a confirmation, but it is not a definitive rejection either.
Switch 2 signs are context, not confirmation
There are reasons a Switch 2 release gets discussed, but none establishes that GTA 6 is coming to the console. Reporting on Pritchard’s interview says Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is due on Switch 2 alongside Xbox and PlayStation versions, marking the franchise’s return to Nintendo platforms after more than a decade. That is a third-party release precedent—not evidence of Rockstar’s plans for GTA 6.

One report puts Switch 2 sales at 23.68 million, a potential audience for publishers to consider. But sales figures alone cannot show whether a particular game will be ported, and Pritchard did not connect that number to GTA 6.

Rockstar games have appeared on Nintendo hardware before: reporting notes that Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is available on the original Switch. That precedent shows the series is not entirely absent from Nintendo platforms; it does not establish that GTA 6 can run on Switch 2 or that Rockstar intends to release it there.

What the Switch 2 test rumors actually say
A report discussed by GameSpot said Rockstar had tested the possibility of bringing GTA 6 to Switch 2. The same coverage cautioned that testing does not mean a port is planned; the report’s source said developers may test technical feasibility without proceeding to a release.

The available reporting does not provide a verified technical assessment of how GTA 6 would perform on Switch 2 or what compromises a port might require. The reported tests, even if accurate, do not answer those questions or confirm that development is underway.

What to watch for
For now, the clearest answer is that GTA 6 is listed for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, while a Switch 2 version remains unannounced. Pritchard’s response leaves the decision with Rockstar and Take-Two; an official announcement from those companies would be needed to confirm a port or its release plans.
