That's according to a newly shared analysis of the game's source code conducted by Reddit user RafaelSwi, who discovered that the entire GTA 5 codebase contains just two references to the Nintendo Switch, and only a couple more mentions of the console's NX64 codename. Jump onto the game's many online forums and you'll find lots of folk still complaining, too, with issues related to enemy spawn rates leading to failed timer missions, buggy physics, crashes, and all sorts of stuff that just pulls you out of the experience time and time again. Ex-Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aimé is well known for his showmanship and love for Nintendo games, but if a recent interview is anything to by, it seems he may have spent more of his time on the PlayStation 2 during the early 2000s rather than the GameCube. There are various subtle tweaks like this to be found in each game’s menu, including the level of aim assist sensitivity, adjustable gyro controls, vehicle camera height and more.

A Nintendo Switch port of Grand Theft Auto 5 was likely never in active development, an analysis of the game's source code suggests. Unfortunately, we cannot revisit games on an individual basis, but it should be noted that the updated game may offer an improved experience over the one detailed below. Take-Two Interactive, the holding company responsible for such studios as Rockstar Games, 2K, and Private Division, has announced via its financial report that it plans on releasing 8 'new iterations of previously released titles' over the course of FY2023 - FY2025. This game is fictional; any similarities to real-world places, people, or entities is coincidental and does not imply any third-party sponsorship or endorsement of game content.Jumping back into Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is now an immediately more satisfying experience overall. The Switch port of Red Dead Redemption that was released in August 2023 is still the only RAGE engine game that has made its way to Nintendo's hit console to date.

Subject to regulation by the Financial Conduct Authority and limited regulation by the Prudential Regulation Authority. years on, the minute level of detail seen in CJ’s adventure is startling, but it won’t be for everyone. The leaked data indicates that any GTA 5 Switch port plans were likely scrapped prior to 2017, assuming they ever existed in the first place. Reflecting on this find, RafaelSwi speculated that Rockstar might have initially left open the possibility of bringing the game to the Switch, but canceled those plans after it was announced that the Wii U successor would use the 64-bit ARM architecture. But if you're too sensitive for their current state, there are equally meaty alternatives like Saints Row and LA Noire (plus all the top-down homages from Retro City Rampage to American Fugitive to Rustler) on the same platform.Their half-assed attempt at this and it's poor reception buried the chance of getting RDR Remastered on Switch, which I was far more excited for. I've only played the opening mission(s) of San Andreas, and it fares a lot better, but I've hardly played that yet.

And while that observation alone might suggest Rockstar once had plans to bring the game to the Switch, all of the discovered references appear to be tied to utility functions and objects that in no way indicate Grand Theft Auto 5 was ever close to running on the ARM system-on-chip architecture utilized by the Nvidia Tegra X1 powering the Switch. It has been on sale in that time, and in the end we still wouldn't really recommend it unless you can pick it up discounted. These, of course, are differences we're noticing without any special equipment or Digital Foundry levels of assessment and know-how, so this is all stuff you should be able to feel and see for yourself pretty much as soon as you relaunch into the trilogy.

There is a moment in a young person's life — a brief window, around 13 years of age — when their internal maelstrom of hormones, peer pressure, and insecurity reaches its peak, turning the teen into soft, malleable putty, ready to be coaxed into a fandom by the next influential moment that comes along. I really wanted this game to be stellar so I could try out the series, but because I have no nostalgia for this series, I don’t think this collection would be fun for me, even with the improvements.

Where the initial release was an absolute mess in terms of how it juddered and stuttered along, these ports now run at a pretty much locked 30fps, with a few slight drops to the high 20s here and there. These improvements apply to all three games, although in terms of slight stutters and blurry effects, San Andreas does still chug here and there. Both maps have been recreated with almost all of the finer details intact, which makes driving through them and causing chaos just as thrilling as it was in the early 2000s. The first thing you'll notice, across all three games, is that they now have much-improved frame pacing and frame rates in general. This particular Definitive Edition is still struggling to match what players were treated to with these games back in the day.So, we've made a very specific exception and asked PJ to redownload the trilogy to see how it compares to the GTA Switch ports he first played just over 18 months ago.
