Red Dead Redemption 2 could be relaunched strongly in the new generation. According to specialized media, the game would arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 and would also be released with graphical improvements on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
The information comes from internal leaks and sources close to Rockstar Games. Although there is no official confirmation, the signs point to a multiplatform relaunch strategy.
The media Gamereactor claims that the version for Switch 2 would arrive at the end of 2025. Meanwhile, Nintendúo suggests that the launch could happen before March 31, 2026.
Both agree that Rockstar's open-world western will be part of the first months' catalog of Nintendo's new hybrid console.
Since September 2023, there has been talk of an improved version for next-generation consoles. A leak of internal documents from Microsoft Gaming revealed that Xbox was looking to add an optimized edition of RDR2 to its Game Pass catalog.
These versions would have improvements in the visual and performance aspects, adapted to the current hardware. So far, there has been no official announcement from Rockstar Games.
Additionally, Rockstar has already released titles on the first Switch: L.A. Noire (2017), GTA: The Trilogy (2021), and Red Dead Redemption (2023). The relationship with Nintendo is already established.
Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two, stated that Switch 2 could target a broader audience. "Previously, Nintendo focused more on young players. That changed with Switch and could continue with Switch 2," he said in an interview.
He also suggested that GTA 6 could come to Switch 2, although without confirming anything. The comment reignited rumors about the future catalog of Nintendo's new console.
For this year, Take-Two plans to release Civilization VII, Borderlands 4, WWE 2K, and NBA 2K on Switch 2. The company promises more support than ever for a Nintendo platform.
Zelnick stated that while Nintendo usually prioritizes its own titles, he sees signs of a change. "I'm convinced of the potential that this new generation of Nintendo consoles has," he declared.
