Virtuos expresses interest in porting GTA V and Red Dead 2 to Nintendo Switch

Virtuos, a studio specializing in remasters and adaptations, expressed interest in bringing two of Rockstar Games’s biggest hits to the Nintendo hybrid console. Andy Fong, the company’s technical director, revealed in an interview that the team wants to work on versions of Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 aimed exclusively at Switch.

The commercial potential of the titles reinforces the ambition. GTA V has over 225 million copies sold globally, while Red Dead Redemption 2 has over 82 million. Ambos maintain active player bases, and the portable hybrid console proposal would represent an opportunity to reach new audiences.

Virtuos’s track record strengthens the credibility of this aspiration. The company has already demonstrated its capacity in large-scale and technically complex projects:

• L.A. Noire adapted for multiple platforms and Switch
• XCOM 2 successfully ported to various hardware
• The Outer Worlds converted to hybrid consoles
• Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater in co-development
• The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered produced with Bethesda Game Studios
