The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct event just ended a couple of moments ago, and some fans may want to know if Rockstar Games released the GTA 6 trailer 2 during it. This curiosity among the Grand Theft Auto community (as well as gamers in general) is understandable — the developers have been silent ever since revealing the game in 2023, and the title itself is set to release later this year in Fall 2025.

While a GTA 6 trailer 2 release at the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct event could have done wonders for the system, unfortunately, it didn’t happen. However, this doesn’t mean that the game couldn't arrive on Nintendo’s newest handheld in the future. Let’s quickly learn about everything important revealed at today’s Nintendo Switch 2 Direct event.

Should GTA 6 fans expect a port on Nintendo Switch 2?

The different titles revealed in today’s Nintendo Switch 2 Direct showed how powerful the new machine can be. The announcement of games like Mario Kart World (which supports fully open-world exploration) and Cyberpunk 2077 suggests that the new hardware is capable of handling high-quality games on par with the PS5 and the Xbox Series X|S.

As GTA 6 has already been announced for those two systems, it won’t be surprising if Rockstar ports the game to the Nintendo Switch 2 sometime down the line. What makes this possibility more likely is the availability of the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition on the original Switch, showing that the developers have some faith in Nintendo’s hardware.
