Why isn’t there a GTA V Nintendo Switch port yet? It seems like it should have happened by now – the best-selling entertainment property in the history of the universe should be on every console. Yet it isn’t.
Usually, this is a case of technical limitations, but GTA V can run on a PS3, so it can run on the Nintendo Switch. Head below to see all the hints we can find as to whether a Grand Theft Auto V Nintendo Switch port will ever happen, or check out more speculation with our Wind Waker Switch, Twilight Princess Switch, and Ocarina of Time Switch port pontifications.
Is there a GTA V Nintendo Switch port?
No, at the time of writing GTA V is not available on the Nintendo Switch. The developer, Rockstar Games, has only brought a handful of its videogames to the portable home console, the first being 2011’s L.A. Noire (one of the best games ever!), which arrived in November 2017.
Since then, the only other games Rockstar has released on Switch are the GTA trilogy and Red Dead Redemption. The GTA Trilogy was a very disappointing release on Switch, as you can tell by our GTA The Trilogy Definitive Edition review, but Red Dead Redemption held up quite well considering the hardware’s limitations.
Will there be a GTA V Nintendo Switch port?
Right now, it doesn’t seem like a Grand Theft Auto V Switch port is likely to ever happen. Given that the Nintendo Switch is near the end of its life cycle, and Rockstar is seemingly hard at work on GTA 6, there’s no sign of an imminent or even eventual launch. This is despite Rockstar’s parent company Take Two’s CEO Straus Zelnick saying, “What we’ve put out so far has been successful” and promising more products for Nintendo’s console when talking to GamesIndustry.biz.
So, while we don’t know anything about a GTA V Nintendo Switch port, we do know some great games like GTA on Switch to sate that craving in the meantime.
