This makes me wonder if GTA6 is somehow possible on Switch 2. Based on what we heard the Switch 2 GPU wise may not have too much trouble running the game since it could have GPU performance similiar to the Series S with DLSS. However, the big hurdle would certainly be with the CPU where GTA 6 would likely need every ounce of CPU power to get it running in that huge world with a ton going on which may make it difficult, since the Switch 2's CPU is closer to a PS4.
Based on Rockstar's track record, they've have been porting to the Switch more than they ever have with any prior Nintendo console but none of the ports really been ambitous, and if anything they've been mostly the bare minimum. The GTA Trilogy ports ran embarrassingly bad especially for the Switch, couldn't even have the effort to run PS2 games in 60fps on Switch. The Red Dead port was just a basic 50$ port, absolutely nothing done to even take advantage of the Switch's extra horse power. So it doesn't seem likely out of the blue Rockstar would take more ambitious steps to get GTA 6 working on Switch 2, would love to be wrong tho and have GTA 6 on a portable.
Seems likely Red Dead 2 will come to Switch later this year tho. However, still perplexes me that GTA 5 hasn't even been considered at all, especially since the even Switch 1 could've ran it since it was an Xbox 360 game, and that the GTA Trilogy on Switch was the 2nd bestselling platform for that game only behind PS4. Now with Switch 2 people can't even use the excuse anymore that "Rockstar only wants to support the new gen versions of the games, not the 360 Switch version". At the very least i'd like to see that game come to Switch 2 if GTA 6 isn't coming.
