The story in short

New reports hint at a GTA 6 port for Nintendo's Switch 2 and confirm that GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 are slated to leave PlayStation Plus soon.

On October 21, 2026, Notebookcheck noted that the studio behind the upcoming Red Dead Redemption 2 Switch 2 port is reportedly working on a “high profile project” that could be GTA 6. The same week, GameSpot and IGN reported that Sony will soon remove GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 from its PlayStation Plus catalog.

What we know

According to Notebookcheck, the same team that is handling the Red Dead Redemption 2 Switch 2 port is now tackling a “high profile project,” widely interpreted as GTA 6. No official confirmation or timeline has been given, but the source suggests the handheld could see a Rockstar title in the future.

GameSpot’s Jason Schreier revealed additional details about GTA 6, noting that the game will include “lots of small details like Red Dead’s dynamic horse testicle physics.” He also mentioned that the game’s road network is generally narrower than previous entries, hinting at a more compact urban design.

Meanwhile, IGN and GameSpot confirmed that Sony is pruning its PlayStation Plus catalog, removing several titles including Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2. GameSpot added that the removals are likely to make room for new additions ahead of GTA 6’s announced November 19 launch.

Why it matters for gamers

If GTA 6 does arrive on Switch 2, it would mark the first time Rockstar’s flagship open‑world series lands on a Nintendo handheld, expanding the game’s audience beyond PlayStation and PC. Handheld owners would benefit from the portability of a massive sandbox, though performance expectations remain uncertain.

For PlayStation subscribers, the pending removal of GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 means losing two of the most popular legacy titles from the subscription service. This could push players toward purchasing the games outright or waiting for the next-gen launch of GTA 6, which is expected to be a major selling point for the upcoming PlayStation 6.

Both developments underscore a shifting landscape: Nintendo is positioning its next handheld as a more capable platform for AAA ports, while Sony is reshuffling its subscription library to spotlight newer releases.
