Former Rockstar developer calls a GTA 6 Switch 2 port pointless but sees a phone version as possible

A former Rockstar Games developer has weighed in on which platforms Grand Theft Auto VI could reach beyond its announced consoles. According to Dexerto, which reported the comments on September 24, the ex-developer explained why he does not think the game will be ported to Nintendo Switch 2, while suggesting it could still end up playable on phones.

Wccftech picked up the same remarks on September 25. The outlet reports that the former developer described a Switch 2 version as something that makes no sense, and claimed that a smartphone version could be possible. Nintendo Wire followed on October 2, framing the comments around the idea that a Switch 2 release wouldn't even make sense.

All three outlets agree on the core of the argument: the former developer is skeptical of a Nintendo port and more open to a mobile one. None of the reports present this as inside knowledge of Rockstar's plans. They describe it as the personal view of someone who no longer works at the studio.

These comments should be treated as speculation rather than news about Rockstar's roadmap. Rockstar Games has not confirmed or ruled out a Switch 2 or smartphone version of GTA 6, and a former employee's opinion carries no official weight.

For context, Rockstar has officially announced GTA 6 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Any additional platforms, including PC, have not been announced. Players hoping to see the game elsewhere should watch for official statements from Rockstar or Take-Two rather than rely on outside predictions.
