I’ll buy it if they do. I also would love to see proper ports of Vice City and San Andreas without the missing content.

It could handle GTA V, but it would never handle Online with 11 years worth of DLC. Just look how much more demanding GTA Online is in sessions with more than 10 players on PS4 or Xbox One.

There's a reason Xbox 360 and PS3 stopped getting DLC's only 2 years after the game came out.

Switch 2 could finally handle the game at stable 30 fps lock at native resolution, and Online at stable 30 as well.

It's hard to say, but imma say no. The Switch 1 was already capable of handling GTA 5 since it was on the Xbox 360 but Rockstar never brought it over even after bringing other ports like GTA Trilogy and Red Dead to Switch.

However, there was a valid argument that argues that Rockstar may have not wanted to support the Switch version of the game for updates since it was using the 7th gen version which would've been too difficult and costly to have to update the Switch version of the game specifically since it was too different from the PS4/XboxOne versions.

I have a feeling it won't come to Switch 2 mainly because I felt like if a GTA 5 port was coming to the Switch, it would've happened by now but it hasn't. Maybe porting over the PS4 version of GTA 5 may make it easier for Rockstar to port it to Switch 2 but I also have a feeling that Rockstar at that point will be too focused on GTA 6 updates to care much about GTA 5 anymore to port it to Switch 2. So i'm gonna say its not gonna happen.

I won't say it's impossible tho, Rockstar did quite randomly brought a port of Red Dead 1 to Switch and other games like GTA Trilogy & LA Noire. So Rockstar may look at porting to Switch 2 as sort of a legacy console to resell older games towards a new demographic and a platform that encourages people to double dip on older games to play them on the go for the first time. So it is still possible, I'll just guess that it won't happen

If gta6 can run on ps4 pro, then i expect it ro run on a switch 2 , thats closer to a ps5 in specs.

Maybe in the same way Red Dead Redemption released without the online. I could see that happening.

I don't think rockstar would bother, as their biggest money maker with that game are all the micro transactions, I might be misremembering l, but I think I read somewhere that Nintendo gamers don't spend nearly as much money on MTX when compared to playstation, Xbox and PC on average

Yet there are several mtx games on Switch like maybe the biggest one of them all in Fortnite. Then there is Overwatch 2, Apex Legends, Rocket League, and countless others. There are even some that aren't even on the other consoles like Star Wars Hunters and Ninjala. Long story short, this idea that Switch has little to no market for microtransactions which is maybe the most mainstream way of spending money on gaming thanks to the incredibly dominate mobile market is completely unfounded. There is no data that backs this up. What you possibly read in the past was the Epic leak that showed PS was very dominate in Fortnite mtx totals and Xbox was ahead of Switch but this could be explained by the headstart because those were lifetime figures, so a platform that gets the game later (Switch) would obviously have a disadvantage. That data was as of 2020 I believe so ofcourse Switch has taken off since then.
