With the launch of bağlantı”>Grand Theft Auto 6 just over a month away, Nintendo is facing questions about whether its next console can run Rockstar’s open-world game.

Nintendo of America president Devon Pritchard recently spoke about the Switch 2’s potential in an interview with bağlantı”>Variety, saying “we’re just at the beginning of seeing what the Nintendo Switch 2 can do.” She expressed hope that improved graphical performance would attract more third-party AAA titles and demonstrate that the console offers experiences beyond its traditional kids- and families-oriented library.

One example of expanding third-party support is bağlantı”>Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, which Pritchard noted will arrive on the console later this year — bringing the franchise to Nintendo systems for the first time in over a decade.
