Rockstar currently lists GTA 6 for November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, but a new Switch 2 rumor is trying to drag Nintendo into the launch conversation. The official GTA 6 page still names only Sony and Microsoft’s current consoles, with pre-orders already open and no Nintendo version listed.
That gap has left room for rumors, especially now that Switch 2 hardware is being treated as a more believable target than the original Switch ever was. Previous chatter had already suggested Rockstar was looking at whether a port could work, but until this week, the talk around GTA 6 on Nintendo’s console was mostly wishful thinking with a nicer coat on.
Now, the latest claim gives that rumor a more specific shape.
GTA 6 Nintendo Switch 2 Leak
The claim comes from Spanish leaker Nash Weedle, who posted an update on X on June 26. According to the post, Weedle said technical hurdles around a Switch 2 version have been overcome, that specialists in Switch 2 ports have been brought in through subcontracting, and that the game still won’t arrive on Nintendo’s console this year.
That last part is where the possible 2027 window comes from. GTA 6 is officially set for November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, so a Switch 2 version missing this year would naturally push it beyond the main console launch. That still doesn’t make 2027 a confirmed date. It’s a rumor built on a leaker’s claim, not a Rockstar announcement.
There is one extra wrinkle. Known insider and leaker Shpeshal_Nick responded to the rumor by saying he hadn’t heard GTA 6 "is coming" to Switch 2, but had heard Nintendo was working with Rockstar or Take-Two to try to make it happen. That lines up with the idea of technical talks or testing, but it also gives the article its big warning label: nobody official has confirmed the port.
The technical argument isn’t silly, though. GTA 6 already has to run on Xbox Series S, which gives the Switch 2 rumor more weight than a similar claim about the original Switch would have carried. A Nintendo version would almost surely need cuts to resolution, frame rate, crowd density, or all of the above, but Rockstar has squeezed huge games onto awkward hardware before.
For now, GTA 6 on Switch 2 sits in the "possible, not proven" box. Would you wait for a 2027 Switch 2 version if it meant playing GTA 6 portably, or are PS5 and Xbox still the safer bet at launch? Let us know in the comments.
