Rockstar Reportedly Tested GTA 6 on Nintendo’s Switch 2, but It Isn’t in Development

The claim comes from a known leaker and follows an ESRB rating for a Switch 2 version of Red Dead Redemption 2.

Overview

  • Gaming insider NateTheHate said Rockstar ran early feasibility tests to see if Grand Theft Auto 6 could run on Switch 2 hardware.
  • He later stressed that experimenting does not mean the game is in development for the device or headed for release.
  • Reporter Reece Reilly, who flagged the Switch 2 Red Dead Redemption 2 rating, said no one inside Rockstar has told him a Switch 2 version of GTA 6 exists.
  • Grand Theft Auto 6 is officially slated for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in November 2026, with no announcement for Nintendo hardware.
  • The ESRB listing for Red Dead Redemption 2 on Switch 2 has renewed speculation about Rockstar ports, though any GTA 6 edition would likely be years away if it happens.
