Nintendo of America president Devon Pritchard recently addressed inquiries regarding the potential arrival of Grand Theft Auto 6 on the upcoming Switch 2 hardware. While the new console is expected to offer increased power compared to its predecessor, Pritchard stated that any decisions regarding a port remain a matter for Rockstar Games and Take-Two to determine.
Pritchard emphasized that Nintendo aims to maintain a diverse library of experiences suitable for a wide age range, spanning from 5 to 95 years old. The company remains focused on expanding its third-party offerings, noting that the Switch 2 architecture is capable of supporting titles that previously bypassed earlier Nintendo systems.
Rockstar Games has previously brought titles like L.A. Noire and Red Dead Redemption to the current Switch platform, though no official announcements have been made regarding newer releases like GTA 6. The developer has yet to confirm if its upcoming blockbuster will be adapted for Nintendo's next-generation hardware.
The industry is currently anticipating a busy period, with Nintendo's remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time scheduled for November 5. This release window places it just two weeks prior to the launch of GTA 6, creating a significant moment for the gaming calendar.
