Take-Two has supported Nintendo platforms over the years, and the company expects that to continue with the Nintendo Switch 2. This comes just days after another high-profile publisher, EA, said something similar, indicating the Madden series may show up on Switch 2.
In an interview with Barron’s, Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick said he’s not ready to make any announcements, but fans can expect reveals to come. “Historically, we’ve supported Nintendo platforms selectively; we’ve supported them when the platform is right for the property at hand,” Zelnick said. “We haven’t made any announcements, but I think you can expect it will be supportive when it makes sense.”
During an earnings call, Zenick said there was a time when Nintendo platforms were aimed nearly exclusively at kids and young people in general, but that’s no longer the case. The Switch can “support any audience” today, Zelnick said, stopping short of specifically confirming any game releases for Switch 2.
In an interview with VentureBeat, Zelnick said, “I would have every belief that we’ll be supportive of Switch 2.”
People might want to know if GTA VI will show up on Switch 2, and there is no reason to believe it will. The game has only been announced for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition came to Switch in 2021. Before that, Rockstar released GTA: Chinatown Wars on Nintendo DS back in 2009.
Outside of Rockstar Games, there are plenty of 2K Games franchises that could potentially show up on Switch 2, but no announcements have been made. Recently, developers at Civilization studio Firaxis commented on the Switch 2’s rumored mouse controls and how that could be “intriguing” for the series.
In other Take-Two news, the company has re-confirmed that GTA VI remains on schedule to launch in Fall 2025, despite fears it could be delayed like many of Rockstar’s past games were.
