Nintendo Switch 2 brings additional innovations including DLSS technology for sharper visuals, HDR support, optional mouse input, and consistent 60fps performance—positioning it alongside current-gen console quality.
Free Upgrades Across Ecosystem
Existing digital owners on PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox backward-compatible versions receive free upgrades to enhanced editions. PS4 players can transfer save files directly, while Switch 2 users maintain progress from original Switch versions.
The upgraded releases also join GTA+ Games Library and PlayStation Plus Game Catalog on December 2, developed in collaboration with Double Eleven and Cast Iron Games.
Strategic Timing After GTA 6 Delay
This multi-platform expansion arrives shortly after Rockstar delayed Grand Theft Auto VI, maintaining fan engagement through accessibility initiatives. Recent moves include making GTA Online free temporarily on PS5 and Xbox, and returning GTA V to PS Plus Game Catalog.
The timing ensures Rockstar maintains momentum while GTA 6 development continues, offering fans ways to experience the studio’s storytelling excellence across devices they already own.
