Important Note: This is a rumor that has NOT yet been officially confirmed by Rockstar Games.
Officially, Grand Theft Auto 6 will initially be released exclusively for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Nevertheless, the rumor persists that Rockstar has long been internally working on a Nintendo Switch 2 version – and it doesn't seem to be entirely unfounded.
Where Does the GTA 6 Switch 2 Rumor Come From?
According to leaker NateTheHate, who is considered reliable, internal tests for a Switch 2 version are already underway at Rockstar. There is no official confirmation from Rockstar Games or publisher Take-Two yet – it is only known that Take-Two has generally pledged to support the Nintendo Switch 2 with “important titles,” without specifically naming GTA 6.
Would a Switch 2 Port of GTA 6 Even Be Technically Feasible?
According to reports, the biggest risk for a potential port is simply the sheer size of the game world. GTA 6 is set in the fictional state of Leonida, encompassing Vice City, an area that is currently expected to be almost twice as large as Los Santos from GTA 5 – smoothly rendering an open world of this magnitude on mobile hardware is a completely different ball game than, for example, The Witcher 3 or Cyberpunk 2077, both of which were ported to Switch hardware years after their original release.
To put things into perspective, let's look at the past: Rockstar has already brought GTA 5 to new platforms years after its release, and the Switch also received at least a scaled-down version of older titles with the Definitive Edition of GTA: The Trilogy. A direct Switch 2 port of GTA 6 at or shortly after release is therefore not ruled out, but if it happens, it's more likely to be a later port with technical compromises – similar to its predecessors.
For players, this currently means above all: don't wait for a Switch 2 version to play GTA 6 promptly. Those who want to experience the game at launch can currently only do so with a PS5 or Xbox Series X|S.

Natürlich ist es portierbar. Die Welt von Breath of the Wild ist um ein Vielfaches größer und es geht. Ja sie ist leerer aber die GTA VI Welt wird ebenso zu einem großen Teil aus Landschaft bestehen und nicht nur eine riesige Stadt darstellen.
Im Endeffekt kommt es darauf an wie das Post-Processing ausgelegt ist. Da gab es in der Vergangenheit schon viele Möglichkeiten und die alten GTA 3D Teile haben nicht immer die besten gehabt.
Wer kennt nicht den Moment an dem man die Kamera dreht und Plötzlich spawnen hinter einem Autos die vorher definitiv nicht da waren. Hat man größtenteils behoben, aber es läuft praktisch immernoch so.
Wäre die Welt wirklich so realistisch, bombastisch wie man es behauptet könnte es die PlayStation 5 auch nicht stämmen und man bräuchte einen PC dafür der die 4 Fache Leistung hat.
