GTA 6 on Switch 2 in 2027? This Leak is INSANE!🔥

Well, folks, we have a slew of news to bring you guys today. You guys see the headline, though, right? GTA 6 on Switch 2. Uh maybe 2027 is what it's looking like. Look, guys, obviously this is rumors and maybe a little bit of speculation. Actually, you know what? No, I think it's just straight up rumors. Well, we're going to get into it cuz something crazy happened with the developments around GTA 6 that I literally did not expect last night. It was pretty crazy. But we have other news we want to get into before we get to the GTA 6 stuff. We have timestamps down below if that's the only story you care about. I get it. It's the headline topic. Um, we have some updates on Elden Ring and some actual footage of it running on Switch 2 and looking really really smooth. Actually, kind of strangely really, really smooth. We'll talk about why it's strange. Uh, we do have a smidge of an update that no, it's not about Nintendo, but well, we have a story as well about the PlayStation 6 and it has to do with the release date of it. So, we're going to talk about that just because that is big industry news. We do tend to cover stuff from other things when it's big industry news. I would argue the launch of a brand new platform that's been consistently popular since the very first one came out, I would say, is a fairly significant industry news. So, we got to talk about that. We have an update on the Metroid Prime uh PVC statue. We actually have a full look at it lit up and everything from first four figures. So, that's just updating a story we previously had. Uh we have a little bit of uh news here supposedly on some Lego stuff and minifigures and all that. some some leaks apparently. We're going to go just take a look at that on uh you know on it's basically the prices that leak. That's sort of the big thing we sort of knew about the rest. Uh we have some news on Diablo I 4 for Switch 2. Uh quite interesting with this news. Can't really wait to uh kind you know get really get into this one. It comes from a very reliable person. Uh we have some news on Kingdom Hearts 4 as well. This came out of the D23 event. So if you already know the news, cool, you know. But if you don't know, we're going to go over all of that as well, along with some of the sales data and other things surrounding this platform. Uh, and then yeah, that's pretty much it. We're going to go over to GTA 6 and what's going on with that. So guys, uh, remember we are giving away a Nintendo Switch 2. You can enter through the link down in the pin comment or the description. The winner will be drawn on October 1st. That is the firm date. I am not changing it. That will be the day we draw the winner. All right, we should get into the first bit of news we have. And this is about Elden Ring. And look, we're going to look at, you know, about a minute or minute and a half or so of footage along the way, but really interesting stuff. So, Den Pomacino Gamer reports that Switch 2 version of Elden Ring Tarnished Edition has no major frame rate issues. It runs smoothly in docked in handheld mode. It basically looks like the other version. So, let's go ahead and rewind this footage here full screen it for you. Again, not going to be the highest quality. Hopefully, if you know, look, the game comes out here in like a week or so, but hey, this is some footage. This is obviously docked gameplay right here. Uh, and yeah, I got to say after playing this at Paxfest last year, this is really smooth. In fact, it's so smooth that it looks like it's running better than the game ran at launch on the other platforms that were targeting higher frame rates. It's pretty crazy how smooth a game could look when the frame rate stays consistent. And yes, they were targeting 30. I don't know if they got a 40 FPS mode in or not, but uh, this looks pretty locked in 30. I'm not seeing I'm not really noticing any dips. I'm sure an actual frame rate counter will show two or three maybe five frame dip. I'm not really sure. But uh this is so much better looking and so much more stable than it was at the other platforms. I kind of hope that From Software uses this to uh really up uh their their their quality on things. Uh we're going to go ahead and look at some docked mode gameplay here as well. Uh and so I just hope that this becomes a new standard for From Software games moving forward regardless of platform. I don't care what they're releasing the game on. I want it to run well. Uh, and From Software has this reputation of launching really, really big, really awesome games, but there always seems to be some frame rate issues that, yeah, they get patched later, but how about we just fix them before the game comes out? I think the studio is big enough now that delaying games for proper optimization and good frame rates, I don't think should be a hassle for them. I can understand why an indie studio maybe runs out of money and stuff like that, but From Software is not hurting for money. In fact, they're not they have a parent company that's also not hurting for money. So, yeah, I think that they're doing just fine. I really want this to be like what we get all the time. We have one more piece of footage to show you guys here. Um, and this one's about a minute long. So, this is probably the best look we have. Um, it looks like docked and handheld. He might have just combined them together. I don't know. Uh, what I will say though is I'm very, very impressed with this gameplay. I think that this is nothing but good news for Nintendo. I mean, we just heard about Crimson Desert is supposedly coming out, according to the CEO of Pearl Abyss, in the first half of 2027. That's their target. Either way, it should come out next year. Now, we have a story later today about GTA 6 potentially coming to Switch 2. So, that's insane. You're starting to get the idea that there isn't really a third party game that can't run and run at 30 FPS on Switch 2. A lot of this is probably due to the power of DLSS, if we're completely honest, the better this stuff gets and the better the engines optimize for it. Because guys, there was no platform that required DLSS before this. Not even PC. There's a lot of PC games that didn't really properly support DLSS a while ago. They're starting to come around on it, but it does require custom programming because it's a hardwarebased feature. It's not just turn it on and off like you can with a softwarebased one, but because of that, it actually can run much more efficiently. So, yeah, I'm very very impressed with this stuff. I do think that uh this is going to be a high quality port. uh and we'll see if it could pick up some sales by being as such. Next up, we're going to go over a story on PlayStation 6's release date. Uh Sony uh CEO Heroki Tatki said that PlayStation 6 release date still hasn't been locked. Let's go to the words here. So, it's an interview with Wall Street Journal and it's discussed numerous aspects of Sony's business, including his view of the future of the company as entertainment instead of electronics. And the article mainly looks at Sony's shift from uh making televisions and products like the Walkman and Discman to increased focus on movies, music and video games. But he does briefly touch on PS6 discussing the challenge of the current era which is identified as the continued global component shortage trade wars. Toki said this considering the importance we need to take some action otherwise we cannot survive in this landscape. That is the first time I just have to point out that's the first time any of these consoleesque CEOs have come out and kind of admitted, hey, this current environment we're trying to sell things in, if uh something doesn't change and maybe we have to change, uh we're not going to survive. That is kind of a stark thing. I I hope I hope PlayStation fans and gamers are paying attention here. The Sony CEO is basically sounding the alarm bells for their next generation right here. Man, that's that's that's that's interesting. All right, let's go here. The article notices that a number of analysts expect PS6 to arrive in 2027, but the component shortages has caused them to rethink. It then states, "Stopi said the company still hasn't fixed a date for PS6's launch." Um, so yeah, that is that is quite interesting that there hasn't been a date set of course at this point and it's probably because they are considering pushing it back to 2028, maybe even 2029. Kind of hope the market kind of flip turns and they can make the hardware for cheaper. I don't know. There's contracts in place already obviously to make systems and that's why we kind of know the component total is around $1,200 or so right now to make a PlayStation 6. I think that uh Sony's in a very peculiar place. It's one of those things where Nintendo's bet to go with older, cheaper technology um and try to maximize its use years later. It's one of those things where that strategy is paying off massive dividends in the current marketplace. Now, even that tech is going for way more than it should. $500 on September 1st here in the US. And I don't suspect that'll be the only price increase on Switch 2 if things keep getting worse. So I I it's one of those things though that that's kind of the price point that people are still willing to maybe buy into gaming is about $500. You start to charge a thousand it gets a little wild at that point. So I do fully believe that Sony and Xbox obviously Xbox in a worst scenario uh have a uphill climb to battle as they have been chasing that bleeding edge and now in the current marketplace that might not be such a smart idea but what are you guys going to do? All we could do is see what happens. And I do hope that things work out for Sony. I'm not one of those people wishing for their death or wishing for them to go away. I think competition is good in the marketplace. And look guys, I enjoy Sony's games. I am a fan of PlayStation's games. Uh as few and far between as they might have been this generation, they're still excellent when we do get them, right? Wolverine looks amazing to me. Obviously, uh we we just had a new Ghost game last year. That game looked fantastic. Astrobot was amazing. So, look, when they bring the games, Ratchet and Clank, right, Spider-Man 2, when they bring the games, they're really, really good. Uh, but they're not coming out as often, unless it's Insomniac, who Insomniac Games, I don't know if you guys have looked at their like lineup that they've done the last 10 years. It's kind of insane how many games they've been getting out considering that Sony's other studios are having a hard time like Naughty Dog getting out one game in a generation. So, kind of interesting because Insomniac games are really, really good. All right, let's go back to Nintendo now. Let's talk about First Four Figures. We talked about this uh about a week or so ago. First four figures shares a look at the exclusive edition of their Metroid Prime Metroid PVC. So, this is the exclusive edition. Uh and we're going to go ahead and just uh give a nice little look here because this does look really nice. So, this is obviously not the standard edition. This is the exclusive edition. There are less of these than the standard edition, but obviously the exclusive edition is usually the one that lights up and just looks really badass. Obviously, this lights up, looks really badass. It's a Metroid from Metroid Prime. Charges with a USBC there. Obviously has a battery. really exciting stuff. Uh I think this is really good. I don't know. Maybe you don't like it. Maybe I'm alone on this, but I think it looks great. Uh it does say uh that they are they're calling it the Metroid PVC statue from Metroid Prime. And it has a glow-in-the-dark effects on the green membrane and uh the dots and all that. We don't have to go over it cuz you just saw it. Uh but there's no more information on this. We don't have pricing yet, but pre-orders do go up soon. So, we will know the price in about 3 days. Uh so, yeah, I kind of want it, but we'll have to wait and see what it costs. So, I'll update you guys on pre-order day because yeah, they'll take pre-orders for a while. They usually don't sell out day one. All right. Next up, we have some leaks for the Lego Mario minifigure prices. So, let's go ahead and look at this. Uh down here says a Lego group have a range of Lego mini figures uh set on the horizon, and some of them have leaked online as well as an all-important pricing. There's a Mario Beach adventure set coming along with Yoshi at Mario's house, a Mario Kart set, and more. These sets with Mario figurines are scheduled to release in January of 2027. Francisco from Uni Bricks has been a really reliable leaker around this stuff. And we're seeing here Mario's Pipe Jump is $10. Mario Kart Racing with Mario is 15. Mario's Beach Adventures is 20. Mario Kart Luigi and Bowser Junior Karts are 30. Yoshi at Mario's House is 40. Mario Kart Bowser's Rumbling Cart is 60. Fire Mario in Bowser's Castle is 100. And Fire Luigi and Koopa Troopa is 30. I'm glad to see some more affordable miniature sets in there with minifigures and stuff. I do think this is awesome. Um, I'm happy for them. The other story we want to get to right now is Diablo 4, when it's coming to Switch 2, etc., etc. So, we got this post by Bill Bill Cunn over on DLA saying Diablo IV is finally coming to Switch 2. Reveal its release date, price, and physical version exclusively. Following two rumors that surfaced some time ago, we can now confirm the arrival of Diablo IV on Switch 2. Also, discover exclusively its release date, price, and availability in physical format. So, the essential brief here, Diablo I will soon arrive on Switch 2 nearly 3 years after it release on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. Two independent leaks originating for two official classifications. Bodies Indonesia and Taiwan point towards this version. Exclusive information revealed here. Content release date September 15th apparently. Price and physical availability. Uh God, they're packing it into September. I just can we get some October releases. Anyways, Diablo I's Age of Hatred collection, which includes the base game with the two DLCs, A Vessel of Hatred and Lord of Hatred. The prices are apparently $70, $70, and £62.99. physical version available, but only in code inbox format. So guys, there's no actual physical version. It's digital only. Uh, an official announcement could take place at Gamescom, which is where they expect. Xbox has confirmed it's going to be there. Uh, pre-orders will open on September 12th, coinciding with the opening of BlizzCon, which there might be some more news on this version or maybe additional DLC or who knows. So, that's basically what this whole thing goes over. If you guys want to go check it out, I like to put the quick summary at the top. Saves a little time. Um, so yeah, September 15th, September 12th for pre-orders and apparently $70. So that's what you got to know. There is no physical version. It's a code in box, but if you want the box, I guess you can still go get it. It's not going to be any cheaper digitally, but there you are. Uh, next up, look, we had a new trailer from Kingdom Hearts 4. I'm just going to play that right now, assuming that I'm not going to get dinged for it. Disney's kind of weird. And we're going to go over the news. So Square Enix has promised that Kingdom Hearts 4 will release in 2027. So, uh, all eyes are on the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 4, and we got a new trailer with gameplay details during D23. And Scorix said the following. I can confidently say and promise that it will launch in 2027. Schedule-wise, development is very smooth. It's not like 80% or 90% thing. It's a 100% thing. And then the co-director said this, we announced that the game will come late 2027. And I saw online that some people were saying, "Oh, maybe the actual release date might get pushed back." I just wanted to set the record straight. that is not happening. I do hope that people look forward to the game coming in 2027 and the marketing for the game has only just started. So, I do hope that people also look forward to hearing more news as well. So, obviously heavily indicating there that uh this game's pretty far along and there's like zero chance it'll get delayed for any reason that they can think of. Uh more than that, we saw that Square Enix had confirmed the Kingdom Hearts series sales that they've sold over 39 million copies. So, that's obviously just some nice little nuggets for Square Enix and fans hoping the series stays around. And I only got to worry about it because Disney themselves says Kingdom Hearts series is now a billion-dollar franchise. That should pretty much just solidify the idea that they are really big believers in this both Disney and Square Enix and we should continue to get Kingdom Hearts games in the future now that they consider it a billion dollar franchise. I won't be shocked that they started to do anime animated stuff like TV shows and movies at some point. Uh last up now guys, this is the big story. This is the one you guys have been waiting for the whole video on. Uh you want to know what the hell is going on with uh well this idea of GTA 6 coming to Switch 2. And look, there's been a floating rumor about GTA 6 coming to Switch 2 out there for a while. Uh it came from Kiwi Talks who had a single source in Indonesia uh basically claiming that hey, it's going to come. At least I think it was Indonesia. I could be wrong on the country of origin. Anyways, the point is that yeah, they said that yeah, it's coming, but that source was like, "Oh, it'll be day and date and all this stuff." And obviously, it's not going to be day and date. And he got a free dinner out of it. So, look guys, uh Kiwi Talks uh had that and kind of backed off. And you might go, "Well, then why are we talking about Kiwi Talks? Why are we even talking about this if he's his one source maybe was unreliable or whatever?" Well, because Kiwi Talks decided to come into my live chat yesterday, and my audience won't leave me alone about this. Uh there must be a number of you guys excited for GTA 6. I don't know. Uh cuz Kiwi talks basically said that he now believes like 80% chance it's coming to to Switch 2 next year. And he's been a staunch believer that it couldn't come to Switch 2. He's even talked about how it might not be able to run on Switch 2. The CPU could be a bottleneck. Blah blah blah. Now he's like, uh uh okay, maybe I'm wrong. Uh let's go into this. Okay, so if we start at the bottom of this conversation chain, what you're going to see down here is you're going to see him talking to some people. It's a balls of steel. Rockstar and Nintendo's relationship is unstoppable force that meets an immovable object. They have always had a strain relationship. Says, "Yeah, it's because Nintendo won't bow the knee to Rockstar and Rockstar gives them the middle finger." And it says Rockstar makes demands to Microsoft and Sony and they will give them whatever they want. Nintendo doesn't do that. So, he's given a little history here what he knows from his developer interviews and stuff that it's like, hey, they have made demands of Microsoft and Sony and they bend the knee to Rockstar's demands. Nintendo won't. So, you might go, "Man, that must mean it's not coming to Switch 2 because Nintendo didn't bend the knees to whatever Rockstar demanded." Well, as we keep going here, he says, "I am hearing more and more whispers of GTA 6 coming to Switch 2 in 2027, though. I'm about 80% confident it will be on Switch 2 next year." Now, that is awesome. And then we go to some, you know, just give you guys a little bit better look here because I know that was a really small thing. This is the rest of what he said. But until I hear it from Rockstar devs, I am going to take it with a grain of salt. However, I still haven't had any Rockstar devs confirm GTA 6 for Switch 2 yet. Though, I'm just hearing it from way too many people for me to think it won't happen. So, when I think about that, okay, he's saying I haven't heard about GTA 6 on Switch 2 directly from any developers. I don't think anyone's shocked about that. There hasn't really been leaks for for GTA 6. It's like Fort Knox over there. So, I wouldn't be surprised that Rockstar devs are telling Kiwi Talks nothing. However, that doesn't mean other people aren't talking cuz what's about to happen, we're about to have this big Netflix event. And we have this big Netflix event coming. Regardless of my criticism of it, what I have to mention here is that that means marketing is truly beginning. And if marketing is truly beginning now, the news on GTA internally at, you know, Rockstar and their parent company is starting to get out a little bit as they start to make marketing plans. And I assume Kiwi Talks is hearing a lot of this from marketing people, hearing a lot of this from other people that are maybe like assistant studios to them and all this stuff. Before he only had one source and it was like, yeah, okay, this guy's been right about stuff, but he's a friend of mine, but I don't know. Now you say he's hearing it from a bunch of people, too many people that he he can't deny anymore that it's probably going to come to Switch 2 and sounds like next year. That is really cool. That also should be good news for you PC gamers. That means GTA 6 is probably going to head to PC next year as well. I assume they'll launch the PC version and the Switch 2 version. Maybe even simultaneously because they would like to see a massive boost in sales all at once. They might obviously stagger it out. Maybe the idea is to go console first, then PC. So, Switch 2 in 2027, PC in 2028. I guess that could be the plan. Uh, this does also mean that maybe that original source he had about G about them wanting to get this game out at launch uh for Switch 2 might have had some truth. There might have been some internal conversations about trying to get GTA 6 and Switch 2 at launch, but they just didn't have the dev kits long enough to make it happen. Now, there has been some rumors about there about how Nintendo is maybe trying to help them get the game over. Instead of like Nintendo bending the knee, Nintendo instead is like, "Hey, do you need any extra help?" But those are just murmurss and whispers I've heard. I don't really know if there's much validity to it. I'm going to stick with what Kiwi Talk said because he's proven to be reliable. He's proven to have sources. If you don't believe that, he literally works at Insider Gaming now. So, yeah. Now, he's doing it for interviews, but the interviews are how he has sources, right? So, yeah, this is pretty crazy. Um, and I just want to note one thing. If you guys have been wondering about his WTF game, if it's not revealed by uh what is it, September 1st, he will be coming on the podcast on September 1st. That's right. We're doing it on a Tuesday because we have travel for packs on Wednesday. Um, but he will be coming on the show on September 1st and uh, he said he will reveal the WTF game on the show. So, outside of the GTA 6 stuff, which he's kind of been sort of part of this whole time for Switch 2, the WTF game will be revealed on the first if it's not revealed before then officially. Uh, and that should be the last public leak you get from Kiwi Talks on our podcast or on his ex account along with this obviously GTA 6 stuff, which again, uh, you know, it's just he's hearing a bunch of stuff. I now heard that some other people are hearing from people. So, like it's starting to get around that GTA 6 on Switch 2 seems to be absolutely happening. And to address the concerns about, oh, it's going to run like crap. We just saw how well Elden Ring runs. Uh, Crimson Desert's coming over. They said the game's fully running. They're just obviously working on optimization. Uh, and that game might end up running pretty well. We'll see. Crimson Desert devs, Pearl Abyss, seem to be really on top of patching and fixing up the game. So, I think they're trying to put out a really good version on Switch 2. There's no reason to rush that game out. Um, and yeah, I think that this is just really interesting. I think GTA 6 can actually sell extremely well on Switch 2, especially because at the time it releases, it might be the only portable platform to have GTA 6. And that could have a lot of appeal. Rockstar hopefully does a good job porting it. But yeah, man, that would be that would be kind of wild. And and uh we'll see if people double dip, you know, if they have the PC version. I'm sure they say they have the Xbox and PlayStation version and there's cross saves like, you know, maybe some people double dip so they can have it portably if if it at least plays solidly at 30 FPS, which I assume is the goal because that's the goal on the other platform. So why would that be the goal on Switch? trying to target 15 fps would seem like, hey, why even bother? So, I assume they're going to try to get to run as smoothly at 30 FPS as they can. And again, as we said, for a game earlier like Elden Ring, I'm sure DLSS will play a big role in making this possible. Every time I see a major third party company come over, I think more and more about how wise it was for Nintendo and Nvidia to go with the technology they did that has the DLSS. And I get it, there's newer tech out there, but now look at what's happening with the prices. If Nintendo would have went with some of that newer stuff, we're talking about the Switch 2 being $800 to $900 right now, which would just be ridiculous. So, everything seems to be working out and third party seem to be putting some effort and prioritization into Switch 2. So, everything seems like it's working out. You guys will will find out for yourselves uh when the news drops, if it ever drops. I have no idea, right? Just a rumor for now. All right, guys. Thank you so much for tuning in. I am Nathan Rob from Nintendo Prime. And I just realized red on red. That was a bad look. Whatever. We'll catch you guys in the next video. [music] >> [music]
