‘GTA 6’ Move Over, One Of The Best Open World Games Is Getting Its Biggest Update Yet

For those lucky enough to get their hands on a is allegedly getting some sort of current-generation port. While Kotaku reported back in 2022 that plans for a substantial remaster were scrapped after the failures of GTA: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition, sources claim a simpler port of the game is now in order.

It’s pretty clear that despite its spotty past with the Japanese console maker, Rockstar and Take-Two are taking Nintendo’s platform a bit more seriously than before. While that relationship won’t necessarily culminate in a Switch 2 port for Grand Theft Auto VI, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick told The Game Business last week that he and the company are big believers in the upcoming console-handheld hybrid.

“Historically, being a third-party in the Nintendo business has been a bit challenging,” Zelnick said during Take-Two’s earning call last week. “Nintendo’s been very forthcoming in addressing that, and we’re stepping up too because we have great optimism for the platform. In terms of what we would bring to any platform… We obviously wanna be where the consumers are.”

It all makes sense. The original Switch has sold more than 150 million units. And with the Switch 2 already on track to do just as well, publishers and developers alike would be foolish to ignore the potential there.

Even without the Switch, Take-Two subsidiary Rockstar Games is doing just fine. The 12-year-old Grand Theft Auto V has sold more than 215 million copies, according to recent numbers, maintaining its comfortable lead as the second-best-selling game of all time. All the while, the hype around its sequel is reaching a fever pitch over a year before release. The game’s second trailer garnered over 475 million views across internet platforms in 24 hours.
