Popular video game **Grand Theft Auto V ** could be making its way to Nintendo Switch . The action-adventure video game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games has garnered a cult following, ramping up the success that the franchise has been enjoying since it was first released in 2008. The latest iteration in the game series, which was rolled-out in 2013, takes players to the fictional location of Los Santos, San Andreas state of San Andreas, where every gamer can live out their best (or worst) thieving dre


It was an incredibly strong showing for games this year with three major 'Game of the Year' contenders in Grand Theft Auto V , The Last of Us and BioShock Infinite all hogging the nominations. In fact, the program featured close categories throughout with Game of the Year, Studio of the Year, Best Independent Game and acting categories being especially tight ca


To help put that figure into another perspective, after just one day on shelves, the money that Grand Theft Auto V has generated would put it as the 40th highest grossing movie release ever, making more money than Inception and Spider-Man in their entire worldwide runs in cinemas. Of course, the price of a game is more expensive than a movie ticket, and there is some room for inflation differences, but that it serves as a stark comparison especially when you consider the time frames being compa


A user on NeoGAF (via Nintendo Life ) with the handle Vern has recently come out with a pretty exciting rumor for both Grand Theft Auto and Switch fans. He claims that he got a tip from a reliable source that the video game may finally be busting its way to the hybrid console. His lengthy post, which you can read below, is a supplementary explanation to his earlier insinuation that GTA5 could be coming soon to Swi


According to IGN , Rockstar Games parent company Take-Two Interactive revealed that GTA V made $800 million dollars in its first day of trading, to which they are quite understandably "thrilled" with. The company revealed that the game became "the highest first day retail sales of any title in the history of the company and the Grand Theft Auto series." For a company that has the entire back catalog of GTA , as well as games like Red Dead Redemption , that is no small feat. But that statement might still be selling this success sh

The content of these games shouldn't matter. The greater principle at stake here is the idea that people should be free to express their ideas, a value clearly held dearly by movie-goers but not so much by the gaming community. Society has spoken about movies: we want any film, regardless of how controversial the subject matter, to be available to the public in an exercise of our right to free speech and ideal of free expression. The question remains when, if ever, will society feel the same way about video games?


Grand Theft Auto V was always destined to make a ton of cash being one of, if not the biggest franchise in all of gaming. It was certainly going to need to after becoming the most expensive video game ever produced. Bloomberg had predicted that the franchise would make a billion within its first month, which seems to be a somewhat misjudged prediction now. Mostly because, after becoming one of the highest rated games of all-time , it should reach the billion mark point in just its first two d


On Steam, recent user reviews indicate an "overwhelmingly Negative" ranking for the game, as well as "mixed" reviews overall. Only 14 % of the 35,960 user reviews in the past 30 days have been posit


In the end, what we got was a seemingly fair distribution of awards with GTA 5 Patch Notes|Https://Gta5Play.Com/ V winning the Best Game, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag winning the Best Action/Adventure, BioShock Infinite winning Best Shooter and Naughty Dog winning the Best Stu


However, before we all get too hyped-up about the presented possibility and despite Vern's track record, let's once again reiterate that this is by no means a confirmation -- the user himself has reiterated that in his post. Shall this rumor holds any merit and turns into reality, then that's obviously great. But in the meantime, it's for the best to just wait for the official announcement that GTAV is indeed coming to Nintendo Swi


Grand Theft Auto V will continue to sell like hot cakes and it will be very interesting to see just how large the gross number becomes over the course of the next week, hopefully with a solid number on units sold surfacing. While it is utterly futile to compare a game and a movie, it would be fascinating to see just how it compared to some of the biggest ever movie releases, especially as the series won't be transitioning to the big screen its


Obviously, with the internet populated with rumors and big tips from supposed reliable insiders, some are understandably skeptical of the news. But given Vern's track record, others are pretty convinced. This is of course, on top of the logical fact that a partnership between Rockstar Games and Nintendo for Switch to house GTA5 is a win-win situation for both parties and an even bigger win for fans who are already thrilled at the thought of being able to play the title on-the-go. You can remember that back in January, Vern broke out the news that L.A. Noire is coming to the Nintendo console which eventually came to fruition. He also correctly predicted the recent Nintendo Direct Date, proving that he does have some pretty solid tipst
