Take-Two Boss Feels "Really Good" About Switch 2 Amid Reports Of RDR 2 Port

Take-Two has confirmed that it plans to launch numerous "new iterations of prior releases" in the time ahead, and this news comes amid reports of a GTA 4 port for modern consoles and Red Dead Redemption II for Switch 2. For Switch 2 specifically, Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick said he is a "big believer" in the console, which is only fueling the speculation online about the possibility of more Take-Two titles coming to the system.

A slide from Take-Two's earnings briefing shows off some of the games that Take-Two has coming during its Fiscal Years 2026, 2027, and 2028. As you can see, Take-Two has 38 titles listed for released by the end of FY 2028 (April 1, 2028), and only 12 have been announced so far.

Given that, Take-Two surely has numerous announcements still to come, though the company also cautioned that, "It is likely that some of these titles will not be developed through to completion" or that release dates could change. Take-Two said it might add more games to the slate, too.

These games include "immersive core" titles like GTA 6 and sports games, as well as mobile titles, along with "new iterations of prior releases." That last category is what's drawing the most attention recently against the backdrop of the reported ports of GTA 4 and RDR2. This category is defined by Take-Two as titles that would include "ports and remastered titles," but not sequels.

If there are indeed ports of GTA 4 and RDR 2 coming, they would seemingly fall into this category. The GTA 4 port is said to be in the works for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S and could launch later this year, while reports from Spanish websites Gamereactor Espana and Nintenduo published today, May 16, claim that Rockstar is working on a RDR 2 port for the Switch 2.

RDR 2 was originally released in 2018 and is currently available on Xbox and PlayStation consoles, as well as PC. It just recently crossed an astonishing 74 million copies sold.

During an earnings call this week, Zelnick was asked about more Switch 2 ports, and he said the company "would not necessarily bring every title to the platform," but he noted there is a "great" opportunity to bring some of its older titles to Switch 2.

Talking about Fiscal 2026 specifically (ending April 1, 2026), Take-Two said it has four new iterations of prior releases coming to market, including Civilization VII VR and Civilization VII for Switch 2. What the other two are remains a mystery, and some believe they could be the GTA 4 and RDR 2 ports.

"Really good"

In an interview with The Game Business, Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick said the company feels "really good" about the Switch 2 and plans to offer more for the console at launch than ever before for a Nintendo platform. The company has confirmed four games for Switch 2 so far including Civilization VII, Borderlands 4, and the next NBA 2K and WWE 2K titles. "It remains to be seen how [the Switch 2] does, but I am a big believer," Zelnick said.

Zelnick also aggreed that it might have been historically true that Nintendo does a better job of supporting first-party games on its platforms, but the executive said Nintendo is "aiming to change that."

"You know, historically, being a third-party in the Nintendo business has been a bit challenging," Zelnick said on the earnings call. "I think Nintendo's been very forthcoming in addressing that, and we're stepping up too because we have great optimism for for the platform. In terms of what we would bring to any platform, we address it on a case-by-case basis. We we obviously wanna be where the consumers are."
