What if the game wasn't announced on the switch 2 because it hasn't been revealed yet?
If it runs on the Xbox Series S I don't see a problem running on the switch with DLSS at 720p

On top of that, another report states that Nintendo showcased The Matrix Awakens Unreal Engine 5 tech demo running on the targeted specifications of the Switch 2 using Nvidia’s DLSS upscaling technology. The graphics were said to be on par with the PS5 and the Xbox Series X. It should be noted that it is unlikely that the new Switch will have the same raw power as the much bigger and beefier PS5 and Xbox Series X

 

[ADiTAR]

You can't DLSS so much booty.

 

[PonyStation4]

It wasn't announced for PC either

 

[GymWolf]

No tablet is gonna be able to run that thing without severe cuts.

 

[Bernoulli]

Your logic doesn't make sense considering it wasn't announced for PC either

The PC port always comes 1 year later
They won't announce the Switch version if the console doesn't exist

 

[Hudo]

Because Rockstar saw that retards double or even triple dipped with GTA 5 and they want to repeat that "strategy". Simple as.
2026/2027 will see a PC and Switch 2 version. 2028, when the new consoles come around, we'll see a "definitive edition".

Get your wallets ready, motherfuckers.

 

[Beechos]

It'll be on switch 2 via cloud streaming. The Switch 2 will be nowhere near as powerful as a series s.

I mean.. GTA V can obviously run on the current Switch, yet they didn’t put it there. So I kind of doubt they’ll bother with releasing GTA VI on Switch 2.

They would have to use DLASS.

 

[VolticArchangel]

If anything, OP's logic is even more sound because Rockstar doesn't release their GTA/RDR sequels 2 years before their console release.

Don't be surprised if it launches simultaneously on PS5 / Series X|S / NSW2.

I mean.. GTA V can obviously run on the current Switch, yet they didn’t put it there. So I kind of doubt they’ll bother with releasing GTA VI on Switch 2.

The RDR remaster is sign of things to come. Though Rockstar is big on digital distribution, physical is still huge for them, and the Switch carts won't hold the full GTAV package.

Maybe they'll do a GTAV SKU in the future (on current Switch) where they ship with only SP on cart and online downloadable, who knows, but they are not avoiding Nintendo platforms anymore.

 

[Banjo64]

No chance. RDR 2 with online would be nice though.

 

[Justin9mm]

Is Switch 2 going to even be more powerful then a PS4?

 

[Bernoulli]

From the behind closed doors reveal it can run PS5 Graphics at lower resolution with raytracing

 

[Robb]

The RDR remaster is sign of things to come.

That’s a big maybe imo. They’re just doing those because Switch happened to turn out to be one of the most successful systems ever made. Same thing happened with DS which got its own GTA title. The user bases just became too big to ignore.

Switch 2 might sell way slower and less overall, and if so they’ll go straight back to ignoring it.

That’s my guess at least.

 

[Nankatsu]

Sure, if they go back to over the top view for the switch version.

 

[FingerBang]

Depending on specs (about a 3050?), I think the game could run on the Switch 2, but nope, no chance it'll be there at launch.

They would have to use DLASS.

This guy knows his tech

 

[Mowcno]

They didn't port a PS3/360 game (GTA V) to the Switch, one of the best selling consoles of all time and a title that has sold 190m copies. So...

 

[VolticArchangel]

Read, what you wrote, and my post again, slowly.

Think PS4 Pro or a Series S, slightly slower/faster, give or take, with DLSS 2.0 (and some 3.0 features, but Nintendo proprietary, like their own frame generation algo, but not 3.5 features like ray reconstruction).

 

[ThisIsMyDog]

GTAV was much easier to made Switch version, than GTAVI for Switch 2, yet it didin't happend, forget about it.

 

[Robb]

Read, what you wrote, and my post again, slowly.

Not sure I get it, sorry. I definitely think they’ll go back to ignoring/avoiding Nintendo going forward if Switch 2 doesn’t take off.

 

[Revolutionary]

Sure, if they go back to over the top view for the switch version.

I'm sure most people who didn't play GTA 1 or 2 would hate that but I'd be down for an old-school GTA experience. Or just give the Switch another Chinatown Wars-esque spinoff in the same vein.

 

[Yamisan]

Not possible, the Switch is 15+ years behind in tech so the switch 2 will be around 10 years behind.

 

[adamsapple]

This could have been a discussion in one of the other dozen topics on page 1.

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

Switch players don't want gta. They want games where you go fishing and chop wood for their cute farm houses.

 

[Mephisto40]

Considering the switch 2 would be comparable to a PS4 power wise, I think it's safe to say this will not be coming to switch 2

 

[lughnasadh123]

Too much tweakin' and twerkin'.

 

[diffusionx]

If the Switch 2 can handle the game they'll put it on there. We have no idea what the Switch 2 is going to be yet, it's all guesswork and speculation at the moment.

 

[Sanepar]

if runs on series S it runs on switch 2

 

[tusharngf]

Tegra already 10yr old and new switch tech will be old as well. There is no hope on switch side.

 

[AJUMP23]

They are getting GTA7 and RDR3.

 

[existensmaximum]

I would be extremely surprised if it ends up on the next Nintendo console.

 

[//DEVIL//]

How do people expect a game to be announced on a platform that has not been announced yet ????

like brain.. it must function sometimes.

Didn't even Nintendo deny its existence couple of weeks ago just so people buy Switch this holiday ? you think they would let Rockstar announce a Switch 2 game ??

brrr.

 

[EverydayBeast]

GTA is already on switch

 

[Woopah]

They are not going to announce a game for an unannounced platform. Plenty of currently announced games will come to Switch 2.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Whether it will ever release on Switch 2 or be able to run on Switch 2 in some form are two different questions.

My personal view is with severe optimising that yes it may be possible to get it running on Switch 2 in some form. Such as severely cutting down on resolution, locking it to 25-30fps, using DLSS and stripping down the visuals and stuff happening on screen. I'm not expecting it though as I think they will focus on PC and PS6 etc... post release to get more copies sold, rather than rely on a watered down Switch 2 version.

 

[VolticArchangel]

if Switch 2 doesn’t take off.

Surprised you could even say that with a straight face, despite the installed base of a 130 million+ units selling platform, being on life support of their 7 year old hardware, itching to upgrade at the earliest chance they can get, let alone what bizarre reason you have to even think that.

There's a reason T2's putting their back catalogue on Switch, and it is to prepare the userbase for their future titles.

GTAV will make it to the Switch (with SP only on cart and online content being downloadable, on/ and/or Switch 2 before GTAVI comes out).

 

[amigastar]

Sure, if they go back to over the top view for the switch version.

I would buy that. I love top view GTA's.

 

[GoldenEye98]

I think between the hardware, the fact that the install base will be behind the others and that Nintendo isn't the primary console for many gamers.... it won't happen.

Rockstar would really banking on players double dipping on a weaker console...and usually it's the opposite. They are double dipping on more powerful hardware.

So I have a hard time seeing it. If anything we'd probably see them release GTA IV and V combo on Switch 2 in 2030.

 

[Robb]

Surprised you could even say that with a straight face, despite the installed base of a 130 million+

Past success is obviously no guarantee for future success. In fact, the trend is a substantial decrease in all second iterations:

NES to SNES was a decrease of +10M
GB to GBA was a decrease of +35M
DS to 3DS was a decrease of around 80M
Wii to WiiU was a decrease of +85M

Given that their next system is a Switch successor with a similar gimmick I don’t think it’ll reach anywhere near the same heights. Although it’ll still be a success, just not relative to the previous system.

Isn't the CPU the problem, Series S shares the same CPU as X. I'm no expert and hopefully it does but I don't think it will.

 

[Chastten]

Don't see this happening when they couldn't even be bothered porting 5 to Switch.

That being said, I have no interest in 6 whatsoever. If they ported 1 and/or 2 to the Switch, or release some other 2D top down GTA on Switch, however, I would be all in. GTA stopped being fun for me when they moved to 3D.

 

[rodrigolfp]

It wasn't announced for PC either

What platforms was it announced for?

 

[amigastar]

What platforms was it announced for?

Playstation 5 and XBox Series X/S

 

[Mozzarella]

Just a question because i dont bother to search for it, does Nintendo actually port any of their games to other platforms?

 

[Sethbacca]

In theory if it will run on Series S then Switch 2 should be attainable with concessions.

 

[Robb]

Just a question because i dont bother to search for it, does Nintendo actually port any of their games to other platforms?

Generally, no.

The only “recent”, and very specific, example I can think of is them porting a couple of Wii games, like Super Mario Galaxy, to the Nvidia Shield. But that was only in China, so very very limited.

My man, just buy a PS5. These long shot dreams only hurt.

I already have a PC PS5 and the switch had an XSS last year

Not strictly true. The eShop is heaving with hentai games.
