One step closer to Rockstar games on Switch?
Things are looking promising for the Switch when it comes to Take-Two (owner of 2K Games and Rockstar). Amid reporting strong sales for big releases likeRed Dead Redemption 2, the company also noted that the Switch port forCivilization VI“significantly exceeded expectations.” Strauss Zelnick, CEO, even noted that they “felt good about the platform” and will “[continue] to support the Switch for the right kind of properties.”
That last phrase is key: don’t get too excited about the prospect of new Rockstar games on Switch just yet. Other recent Take-Two Switch releases includeNBA Playgrounds 2,Carnival GamesandNBA 2K19in 2018. The publisher began supporting the system in 2017 withNBA 2K18,L.A. NoireandWWE 2K18. Many of those are ports of old games and many outside ofCiv VIhave been poorly received.
In other words, there’s still a ways to go. At this time Take-Twodoesn’t even have a Switch sectionin the drop-down menu of their company site.
