"GTA V port": New Nintendo Direct raises hope among fans for a possible Grand Theft Auto announcement

A new Nintendo Direct has been announced, and fans couldn’t help but speculate which games will be revealed for the Switch, the company's gaming console. Popular YouTuber @mrpyo1 posted a list of video games they believe will be showcased at the event, including:

“GTA V port”

@mrpyo1 also predicted a possible “GTA 6 is coming to Switch 2” announcement. However, Nintendo rubbished this speculation by stating that "there will be no mention of the Switch successor" during the event.

Another user @realradec commented on the post, stating that they are surprised that GTA 5 hasn’t been ported to the Switch yet. Here’s what they followed up this thought with:

“GTA: Online is probably the hold up but I'd cop GTA V for Switch if it was the campaign only”

Another X user, @rohit_0718, stated that the chances of GTA 6 coming to Nintendo are low.

Here are some of the other noteworthy reactions to @mrpyo1’s X post, showing fans' expectations from the upcoming Nintendo Direct:

Players should note Rockstar Games ported the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition to the Nintendo Switch in 2021. The company also ported the acclaimed Red Dead Redemption last year. This shows that the developer is open to porting its iconic games to the Nintendo consoles.

It is possible that a GTA 5 port could be released before the studio's next big blockbuster, Grand Theft Auto 6, arrives.
