Years ago, one of the more prevalent talking points was Grand Theft Auto 5 being on the Nintendo Switch, which might finally come true.
Rockstar Games may be planning to bring its current-gen console exclusive subscription service, GTA+, to an unexpected platform: the Nintendo Switch. This discovery comes from @TezFunz2, who spotted an updated list of available platforms for "Games Included with GTA+" that now includes the Switch. However, the modified version is not yet live on the official page.

GTA+, which recently saw a price increase to $7.99/£6.99 per month, has been exclusive to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X since its launch two years ago. This decision has been met with criticism, especially after Rockstar locked certain Grand Theft Auto Online features behind the monthly paywall — making them completely inaccessible on PC.
The potential addition of GTA+ to the Nintendo Switch raises questions, as the platform is not typically associated with GTA's playerbase. Currently, only three GTA games are available on the Switch: the remastered versions of Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City, and San Andreas, collectively known as Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy — The Definitive Edition. Plus, the Switch is an outgoing, eighth-generation console due for replacement.
This development could hint at several possibilities:
The exclusion of PC from GTA+ remains a mystery, but it does align with Rockstar's pattern of snubbing PC players.
While these points are all speculative for now, signs point to a Switch-related announcement and the potential release of the PC port of Red Dead Redemption during or before Take-Two Interactive's earnings call next month.
