Switch 2 is a magnificent little beast. Can it handle GTA6?

They get bent out of shape if you compare it to PS4, which actually makes the switch 2 look good.

But they won't like it if it gets compared to a ps5 and series x all generation long and get defensive.

I have no understanding of making a video game...but given we saw Witcher 3 run on the original switch..and I thought that was impressive given how the game ran when I first played it on PS4 ....I think GTA6 would be possible.

it wont be pretty but being able to play it on the go would be a seller for some people.

Honestly, I'd picked it up much like I bought Witcher on switch.

The hardware is fine and priced OK (£80 games, no).
Other handhelds are a bit overpriced.

Like this shit.
The X is £850.

Let's go buddies, these seems to be great times for gaming, Nintendo finally catching up in many aspects to competition in tech due in part to diminishing return.

Here's a new comparison video between Switch 2 version of Hogwarts Legacy against Xbox Series S. Ignore Switch 1 please, that thing is meh.

Now, here's the thing: Switch 2 version is confirmed to be 4K@30fps, probably just using DLSS performance or ultra performance, which is still better than TAA or FSR 2.

Yakuza wasn't even optimized for the pro, dude.

Yes. The fact the baseline target of GTA6 is the PS5 is almost a given that it will get ported to the Switch 2.

Will I play it on the Switch 2? No, as I don't enjoy self inflicted pain and regressing humanity.

If that were true, why don't we have GTA V on Switch 1? It's a PS360 game.

This is why ppl get dumb when fall for click bait youtubers. Yakuza 0 is a cross gen PS3 to PS4 game, PS4 version has higher res textures. There is no PS5 version of the game and the game on PS5 runs it using BC which mimics the exact same way the game runs on PS4. Thers no advantage to play the game on PS5 compared to a PS4. Only cases when this happens is when the PS4 version of the game cant reach the 60fps and the PS5 can brute force it, but the visuals are the exact same as the PS4.

No GTA6 will not run on Switch 2 at native 1080p at 30fps with the same graphics it will release on PS5. It will be possible to port it to switch with some downgrades and likelly run it at 720p native res at 30fps. Then DLSS can do its thing to upscale it to 1080p.

I think the old-arse ARM CPU in Switch 2 has something like ~1/3 of the PS5 Zen 2 IPC and is generally running at <1/3 the clocks. I don't see how GTAVI functions with ~1/9 of the CPU juice.

GTAV, RDR2, RDR Remastered (updated) and an eventual GTAIV remastered all make sense though.

Anything can run anything just even more compromises will need to be made. Gta 6 might not even fit on the Switch 2 internal storage and could be like a $200 cart.

There are videos Switch 2 version compared to XSS and PS4 game ran on PS5, Switch 2 version are comparable if not better. And this is still early, devs will harness Switch 2 power as the time goes

Just because it could run doesn't mean it should have run. That game on Switch made Xenoblade look 4K. With how critical ray tracing and physics and NPCs are to GTA6based on the trailers, I don't see Rockstar releasing a game that resembles nothing like their vision which is what would be needed to get it running on the Switch hardware. Docked, maybe you could make a case but this game isn't running on a mobile chip in handheld from four years ago.

Just as with Switch 1, I want Switch 2 for games that are custom built for it. You know it will happen. You know they will be pretty damn good. Multiplatform is whatever, maybe sometimes convenient to have the form factor or control options, but those are rarely the AAA style games.

We've already seen a few comparison videos Switch 2 vs PS5/XSS (Cyberpunk, Hogwarts, Yakuza). Switch 2 versions are running on par to PS5/XSS or maybe just slightly lower quality, either way the difference is marginal 🤏

My question is can Switch 2 handle GTA6?

This usually happens at the start of a Nintendo gen, then the third parties get amnesia and forget it exists.

EDIT: Maybe they'll get more time for it now with Xbox bowing out.

Oh Goodness,

It's the "Nintendo Revolution" level delusions all over again.

Why do y'all do this?
 
Maybe something good will come from Rockstar trying to shoehorn this shit onto the Switch 2. They'll figure out how to give us 60 fps on the Pro. Kind of how that one dev was able to optimize a game trying to get it to run on the Series Sadge.
 
Coconutt said:
No but I am sure Rockstar will still try, maybe they are first waiting to see if its worth the effort.

Everybody assumes the Switch 2 is guaranteed to succeed but have they forgotten about the Wii U? Nintendo is not too big to fail.

Seriously... You also forget in the Wii U and 3DS generation Nintendo still sold around 90 million consoles. Nintendo have consolidated their handheld and home console divisions if anyone thinks the Switch 2 is not selling at least 100 million units is delusional and also dangerous lol.
 
The issue is two fold, first off the PS5 version is 1440p/30. They likely means the Series S is 720p-900p with reduced settings. What does that mean for the Switch 2? 720p upscaled to via DLSS for docked mode? 540p upscaled to via DLSS for handheld? RTGI at that kind of resolution is pretty bad. Secondly, CPU constraints, if 30fps is the target for PS5/XSX/XSS it seems likely that Rockstar will put those Zen 2 CPUs to task and really enhance the simulation aspects over what they had previously. The CPU in the Switch 2 is not even half as fast.

So, not saying it won't happen, just that if it does it will look like shit.
 
Nintendo fanboys keep bringing up The Witcher 3. But. What they don't, or want to understand is that The Witcher 3 on consoles was not nearly being pushed like GTA VI is. Switch 2 just doesn't have the CPU power.

They do this every generation. They start the generation being delusional about how powerful their favorite console is. Then as the gen goes on and they realize that their favorite console wasn't what they thought it was. They cope by saying "power doesn't matter, Nintendo is not competing with PS and Xbox" 😂🤣
