Red Dead Redemption 2 could be making its debut on the Nintendo Switch 2 as reported by Gamereactor. Sources close to Rockstar indicate that this wild west adventure might be released for the new console as soon as this year. This addition would complement a lineup that already includes other third-party titles like Elden Ring and Cyberpunk 2077.

Though neither Nintendo nor Rockstar has confirmed the launch yet, the speculation doesn’t seem far-fetched, especially after Red Dead Redemption was released on the Switch in 2023. Nevertheless, questions remain over whether the new hardware can efficiently run the game, given the prior criticisms of the Switch’s performance. The enthusiasm stems from the potential that if these rumors hold true, one can anticipate how the game might perform on the latest platform.

Additionally, Red Dead Redemption 2 is also rumored to receive a next-gen update for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, potentially launching alongside or shortly after the Switch release. While specific details about the content of this update remain unshared, visual enhancements for the PC version might also be on the horizon, as it has been operating on the original versions for quite some time.

“As long as I can still ride a horse around Valentine, I’m happy,” the anticipation about improvements and enhancements echoes among fans. Even if there are no newly reported updates for the PC version, gamers might still see something transformative should the Switch 2 version and next-gen updates be confirmed.
