The release of Grand Theft Auto 6, possibly the most highly anticipated game in over a decade, is just over a month away. Gamers are eager to jump into Rockstar's latest open-world adventure on Nov. 19 — that is, if they own a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X. PC players, as is the studio's tradition, won't see the game for a while, if ever. But what about Nintendo Switch 2 owners? Some hoped the console would prove powerful enough for a Grand Theft Auto 6 release, but that may not be in the cards anytime soon.

Nintendo of America boss Devon Pritchard recently discussed the potential of the Switch 2 with Variety, stating that "we're just at the beginning of seeing what the Nintendo Switch 2 can do." Pritchard hopes that its improved graphical performance will allow for more third-party AAA releases and prove that the console is not just for kids and families, but can "provide a diversity in terms of the types of experiences that you can have on the system."

One example is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, which will be released on the console later this year, bringing the franchise to Nintendo consoles for the first time in over a decade. Pritchard didn't make any promises to Grand Theft Auto 6 fans, saying, "That's going to be a conversation for Take-Two and Rockstar, but nothing to announce on my end at this time."

This year also marks the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda franchise, which Nintendo is planning on celebrating in a big way.
