Rockstar Pushing for GTA 6 on Switch 2 is Something Sony Would Never Attempt With Bloodborne or God of War

Currently, two of the most highly anticipated developments in gaming are Rockstar’s GTA 6 and the Switch 2. Both represent significant milestones: GTA 6 as the next chapter in one of the most iconic franchises ever, and the Switch 2 as the next-gen successor to the beloved hybrid console.

Recent reports suggest that Rockstar is eyeing the hybrid console as a viable platform for its games, signaling the console’s growing appeal as a versatile device for all types of gamers. While one major studio embraces this new frontier, Sony, on the other hand, remains focused on exclusivity.

, during Take-Two’s recent financial results call, CEO Strauss Zelnick revealed that the company is eager to support Nintendo’s upcoming console, acknowledging that the console has evolved into a platform that offers a wider range of players.

While Zelnick did not confirm any specific titles, he emphasized that Take-Two’s approach to Nintendo’s audience has changed. He further emphasized that the handheld now supports a broader demographic capable of enjoying mature, complex games like those from Rockstar.

Zelnick even pointed out that titles like Civilization 7 are now available on the Switch, essentially highlighting a shift in how developers view the platform. While no confirmation was given for GTA 6 (even on its release date) on the Switch 2, he made it clear that Take-Two expects to support the new console.

This marks a significant change in direction for Rockstar and suggests that the Switch 2 will be a generational leap that many people hope it to be. It might also be capable of offering the performance and features needed to run even the most demanding games.

With rumors and leaks suggesting similar things, it’s clear that Nintendo has managed to make the leap from a family-friendly handheld to one that can compete with traditional consoles like PlayStation and Xbox (not in performance just yet but in diverse titles for sure).

Sony’s stubborn approach in the evolving industry

While Rockstar is embracing the Switch 2 as an opportunity to broaden its audience, Sony seems to be sticking to its old-school approach of console exclusivity.

The company has long prided itself on offering experiences that can only be found on PlayStation, with games like God of War and Bloodborne acting as major draws for players to buy into the PlayStation ecosystem.

However, in an industry that is increasingly embracing cross-platform play, accessibility, and in general, inclusivity, its stubbornness in keeping its beloved franchises exclusive to PlayStation is starting to look increasingly out of touch.

There is no denying that God of War and Bloodborne (it’s not even getting a remaster or sequel, forget about releasing on other platforms) have certainly drawn players to the console and helped define the PS brand, but the world of gaming has changed.

With the rise of services like Xbox Game Pass, cross-platform play becoming more common, and even Nintendo aiming to expand its offerings with more mature and 3rd party titles, Sony’s refusal to bring its top games to alternative platforms like the Switch 2 may start to feel like a missed opportunity.

In the end, Rockstar’s push for games on the Switch 2 is a clear signal that the future of gaming may not be about locking titles behind the ecosystem, but about presenting the game wherever players choose to play.
