Overview
- Virtuos, whose technical director spoke Monday in a Pocket Tactics interview reported by VGC, said the team wants to adapt Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 for Nintendo Switch.
- The statement outlines an aspiration rather than an active project, which would still need Rockstar’s approval and must meet the Switch hardware’s technical limits.
- Virtuos has worked with Rockstar before, developing LA Noire’s 2017 ports for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch.
- The studio’s recent credits include support on Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater and co-developing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, with a Switch 2 version still in development without a firm date.
- GTA V has sold about 225 million copies and Red Dead Redemption 2 about 82 million, highlighting why portable versions could draw new handheld players if they are approved.
