Forums - Nintendo - GTA6 potential day 1 launch on NS2

If this is true, expect a 60fps mode on at least the PS5 Pro.

The biggest challenge in porting this to the Switch 2 is that it's supposedly very CPU-intensive. A lot of extra work and time would be needed for it to run at a stable-ish 30 fps on Switch 2.

But imagine how much it would sell in its first year if it's launched on all major platforms including PC! Maybe these delays had something to do with a suprise "all platforms at launch" announcement.

Yeah seems unlikely but would be a huge win for Nintendo to get this at all, let alone getting it same day instead of it just releasing some long time later as an afterthought when the launch hype is long since gone.

Having a very popular game available on your console is good PR.

There was no backlash or scandal to Witcher 3 or Doom 2016 having downgraded Switch 1 versions, the notion that a Switch 2 port of GTA6 would be some kind of "black eye" for Nintendo is ridiculous.

Whatever the case, I'm glad I also own a PS5. Because even if it did come out for S2 (it won't), it would be one of, if not the most gimped ports in gaming history, bar none. It would be like COD on Wii. Not worth trouble. Not worth the time. Papa Johns.

But the Wii kept getting new CoDs. Activision felt like it was worth the time and trouble.

I highly doubt this but it would be very cool if there was a surprise day 1 launch PC and Switch 2 versions. Records would get absolutely shattered. I imagine there has been increasing regret at Rockstar about the decision to launch only on PS5 and Xbox Series considering the former hasn't been making up for the massive decline of the latter. Launching a game on the latter but not on PC is an insane thing to do in 2026.

Immoral pc community deserves it.

Indeed, people want the confirmation that your choice is the best version, so they keep telling everytime that something places below that, it looks like shit

You can find that a game looks like shit bc it doesnt match your criteria and I can look at this discrepance in visual performance and find a total overblown and everybody play the game exactly how they want in your own platform of choice...

Thats the beauty of the free will: having different parameters and different preferences

Best version is flatly quantifiable.  There is no debate.  

120 fps>60fps>30fps

4k>1440p>1080p

High>medium>low

I mean, the S2 version of RE9 is flatly not the best version.  PC is the best, followed by ps5 Pro, ps5 and S2 is at the end.  The fun thing about facts, they don't care about opinions.  

Gaming experience on consoles in many cases better than on most powerful pcs but arrogant pc players like you loves to deny facts.

As arrogant as Nintendo is, I think they care more about GTA VI on Switch 2 than Rockstar does. If GTA VI somehow comes to Switch, I really don't see it happening at launch.
Despite Nintendo's audience and hardware restrictions, I think GTA VI could sell similar on Switch 2 to Xbox Series X/S. Or maybe I'm crazy to think that.

Other then the PS2 trilogy that was ported to Switch 1 five years ago, the last 2 mainline GTA's have never been ported over to Switch.

Some Nintendo fans on this site have mentioned to me that lower 3rd party game sales such as RE9, FF7 Remake and others that are multiplat sell lower because "they need to build an audience over time first".

At least that's the excuse I was told. So using that logic, GTA VI on Switch 2 would not sell similar to Xbox Series X/S version. 

Both Re9 and FF7 remake have very good sales on S2. Theer is no problem with 3rd party sales.

I will bear that in mind.

Did you decide you wanted to fuck around today and see how long it takes till you get moderated or what?

Seems like GTA5 sold at a very low average price of $20~ (my own estimate based on information from the new leak). When MTX is accounted for, PC is a much smaller market for it than Xbox.
