Take-Two Interactive has plans to “support” Nintendo Switch 2 after the new system releases. During the company’s latest earnings call on February 6, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said that Nintendo is in a different spot than it was years prior.
Zelnick says that while they supported Nintendo in the past when it “made sense”, things have seemingly changed a bit.
“Look, we’ve had obviously a long-standing relationship with Nintendo,” he said during the call. “And we’ve supported the platform when it made sense for the individual release. There was a time when Nintendo platforms are really geared at younger audiences, and that was reflected in our release schedule.
“And that — now today with Switch and potentially with Switch 2, the Switch device can support any audience. And as you note — as you may have noted, Civ VII is available now on Switch. So, while we have nothing specific to report, we actually would fully expect to support Switch.”

Of course, the biggest question regarding Switch 2 support is what games will they bring to the console. While games like Grand Theft Auto 6 and Borderlands 4 were announced for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, there could be hope from players that, down the line, both will become available on the hybrid system.
Speaking of Grand Theft Auto 6, Zelnick also reaffirmed that the game is still planned for a release this fall.
