Red Dead Redemption 2 is reportedly set to launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 later this year, according to multiple sources close to Rockstar Games. Both Gamereactor and Nintendúo have independently cited insiders who claim that the acclaimed open-world title is being prepared for release on Nintendo’s upcoming console, possibly arriving before the end of 2025. This aligns with Take-Two Interactive’s recent statement about releasing four new iterations of previously released titles within the current fiscal year, which ends on March 31, 2026.
In addition to the Switch 2 port, Rockstar is also reportedly developing a next-gen upgrade patch for Red Dead Redemption 2 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This update is expected to enhance the game’s performance, potentially introducing 60 FPS support and improved graphical settings to fully utilize the capabilities of current-generation hardware.
While these reports have generated significant excitement, it’s important to note that neither Rockstar Games nor Nintendo have officially confirmed the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 on the Switch 2 or the next-gen patch for existing consoles. As such, these details should be considered speculative until official announcements are made.
