Could you play GTA 6 on the go? A fresh leak says maybe, in 2027. Rockstar and Nintendo have said nothing, so this sits firmly in rumor territory — but the source is specific enough to be worth laying out.
What the leak claims
On June 26, Spanish Nintendo insider Nash Weedle posted on X that a Switch 2 port of GTA 6 is in development. His claims, in short: the technical hurdles of running the game on Switch 2 have been cleared, Rockstar is handling the port itself with subcontracted Switch 2 specialists brought in for the hard parts, and the port won't arrive in 2026 — pointing to a 2027 window. Weedle says other insiders have heard the same.
The subcontractor angle is the detail that makes a leak plausible at all. Rockstar is one of the most locked-down studios in the industry; widening the circle to outside specialists is exactly how information slips out.
Why to stay sceptical
Not everyone buys it. Developer interviewer Reece "Kiwi Talkz" Reilly bet against a day-one Switch 2 release and won, and says the Rockstar developers he's spoken to didn't mention a port. Insider NateTheHate says Rockstar is running internal Switch 2 tests but warns that internal testing doesn't guarantee a retail release.
History cuts both ways too. Neither GTA 5 nor Red Dead Redemption 2 ever came to a Nintendo console.
The bottom line
A Switch 2 version would almost certainly ship with cuts — lower resolution and frame rate, leaning on upscaling to bridge the hardware gap. The business case is real and the rumor is more credible than past versions, but until it appears on Rockstar's Newswire, it's a leak. If you want GTA 6 on day one, PS5 or Xbox Series is the only confirmed route.
