Red Dead Redemption 2 Rumored for Switch 2 Release, Offering GameChat a Platform to Shine with Memorable Moments

Whoa, okay, so imagine this—our beloved game, you know, the one with those outlaws who just can’t seem to catch a break, might soon be galloping onto the Nintendo Switch 2. Like, what? Gamereactor throws this wild claim that they’ve heard whispers—no, not secrets—whispers from people chummy with Rockstar. Apparently, the game might land on Nintendo’s fresh console “as soon as later this year.” And just when you think that’s already something, here comes Nintendúo from Spain, backing this up with their own grapevine gossip.

So, cookies and targeting settings? Yeah, I skimmed over that part. But back to the juicy bits—Gamereactor says it also caught wind of an spruced-up version of RDR2 for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Think graphics and whistles—it’s like giving your cowboy hat a shiny new band. Timing’s a bit fuzzy, but might just align with the Switch 2 launch.

Meanwhile, over in Take-Two’s universe! They’re slotting in some big guns like Borderlands 4 and Civilization 7 for Switch 2 already. Just flinging Rockstar’s epic into the mix makes it five mega releases. Now, Strauss Zelnick from The Game Business has some thoughts. He’s a fan—I mean, he has to be, right? Says Nintendo usually nails it with their own titles but seems they’re shooting for more. And there’s this whole thing about “voting with our feet” and Nintendo asking for support. A very “let’s see what happens” vibe.

Now, if RDR2 does ride into Switch 2, brace yourself. Picture this: a bunch of folks group-chatting, throwing around all those lines and, well, probably cracking jokes about the horse anatomy when the temperature drops. If you’ve sat through a Minecraft movie night, it sounds oddly familiar yet different—more chaotic stagecoach chases, less pixel mining.

So here’s the question: RDR2 on Switch 2… yay or nay? Would you dive in or steer clear? Tell us down there—and sorry, I got sidetracked by the whole rhyming part.
