With the GTA 6 release date drawing ever closer, rumors about whether the game will come to the Switch 2 are heating up again, and two independent leads have rekindled many players' hopes. On October 21, players in China discovered that recent Rockstar Games job listings included a requirement for candidates with optimization experience on the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, prompting curiosity about which title might be coming next. Overseas blogger Hugo Gaming also posted recently, noting that Double Eleven—the outsourcing studio that previously completed the Switch 2 port of Red Dead Redemption—
has recently posted a job opening for a low-level graphics engineer. The position requires candidates to be proficient in next-generation graphics pipelines, GPU performance optimization, and the light cone architecture, with priority given to those with Switch 2 development experience. He speculated that the team may be deeply adapting Rockstar's in-house RAGE engine to the Switch 2 hardware, paving the way for a GTA 6 port. Nash Widow then added key information, saying that the newly circulating rumors align with his own June report about a GTA 6 Switch 2 version. However, he stressed that the intelligence in his hands and the Double Eleven job listing clues come from two completely independent sources and are not related. He also teased that more details will be revealed in his November episode.
It should be noted that everything so far remains at the rumor stage—neither Rockstar nor Nintendo has issued any official announcement—so everyone should view this rationally. To run the game stably on Switch 2 hardware, the porting team still faces performance hurdles that should not be underestimated.
