Rumor: job listings at Red Dead Redemption's Switch port studio fuel GTA 6 on Switch 2 talk
Double Eleven, which ported Red Dead Redemption to Switch, is hiring engineers with Switch 2 experience. The listings do not mention GTA 6, and nothing has been announced.
A new rumor suggests Grand Theft Auto VI could eventually come to Nintendo Switch 2. It started with job listings at Double Eleven, the studio that ported Red Dead Redemption to Nintendo consoles, which is looking for senior programmers and low-level graphics engineers. One of the listings says experience with Switch and Switch 2 is a plus, as reported by Gameranx, Notebookcheck and ixbt.games.
The listings do not mention GTA 6, Rockstar or any specific game. Some outlets point out that the roles describe the kind of high-end rendering work any big Switch 2 port would need, so they could just as well be for another project.
Asked about GTA 6 on Switch 2, Nintendo of America president Devon Pritchard told Variety that it is "going to be a conversation for Take-Two and Rockstar, but nothing to announce on my end at this time." Technical analysts have also noted that GTA 6 is a step above what Switch 2 is designed to run.
For now, GTA 6 is only announced for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, launching on November 19, 2026. Rockstar has not announced a PC or Switch 2 version, so treat this as a rumor until there is an official announcement.
