GTA 6 on Switch 2: The Rumor That's Back With Two Insiders (And Why You Shouldn't Get Excited Yet)

Nash Weedle claims Rockstar is already porting GTA 6 to Switch 2 with a 2027 target, and another insider suggests Nintendo is pushing to make the deal happen. Both sources' track records call for caution.

Insider Nash Weedle claims (June 26, 2026) that GTA 6 is in development for the Nintendo Switch 2 with a release in 2027, after “overcoming technical hurdles” with porting specialists. Another insider, Shpeshal Nick, adds that Nintendo is reportedly working with Rockstar/Take-Two to make this happen. With no official confirmation and given the leakers’ mixed track record: tag 🔴 rumor.

What exactly does the rumor say?

As reported by My Nintendo News (June 29, 2026) and Gameranx (June 30, 2026):

• Rockstar is said to have overcome the technical hurdles of the port with the help of specialized subcontracted studios—the name most frequently mentioned in rumors is Shiver Entertainment, responsible for the Switch ports of Mortal Kombat 1 and Hogwarts Legacy.
• The release window is said to be 2027, and definitely not November 19, 2026.
• Shpeshal Nick (XboxEra podcast) clarifies that Nintendo is “working with Rockstar/Take-Two to try to make it happen”—in other words, not even he considers it a done deal.

Why the red tag?

Three reasons, all compelling:

1. Nash Weedle’s track record is spotty — even My Nintendo News acknowledges this in its coverage (“he doesn’t have the best track record with leaks”).
2. No one with a solid track record is backing it up: neither Jason Schreier nor Tez2 has weighed in.
3. The physics don’t lie: if analysts see 60 fps as impossible on the PS5 Pro due to CPU limitations, cramming that simulation into a laptop would require drastic cuts. It’s not impossible (miracle ports do exist), but it would be the greatest technical feat of the decade.

Does it make any business sense?

Yes, and that’s why the rumor won’t die: the Switch 2 is on track to be the best-selling console of this generation, and Take-Two has already said it wants GTA “on all relevant platforms” in the long term. The community’s prevailing theory: first, milk the PS5 and Xbox for all they’re worth; then PC in 2027; and handhelds last. Your bet? Post your prediction — if you’re right, you’ll get an Oracle badge.

Quick Questions

Has Rockstar or Nintendo said anything? Nothing. Absolute silence from both sides.

Will GTA 6 come out on Switch 2 in 2026? No: even the rumor itself rules that out. The Nov. 19 release is for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only.
