Okay, so there’s this game we all kinda gravitate towards – you know, the one with the cowboys who seem to get all introspective while pulling off bonkers heists across a massive map? Yeah, it might show up on the Nintendo Switch 2. Or at least, that’s the rumor milling around, courtesy of Gamereactor. Apparently, some insiders at Rockstar whispered it might drop later this year. And, oh, Nintendúo – those folks tossed in their two cents too, backing up the claim. Crazy, huh?
Then we get to the juicy bit: Gamereactor hints there’s also gonna be a snazzy upgrade for RDR2, aiming to make it shine on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Imagine that! Maybe around the same time it lassoes its way onto the Switch 2. I don’t know about you, but my head’s spinning at how ambitious that sounds.
And it’s not just Red Dead. Take-Two is bringing the heat with a whole roster for Switch 2 – Borderlands 4, Civ 7, NBA 2K, WWE 2K. Throw Rockstar in and bam, there’s five. CEO Strauss Zelnick even said in The Game Business – with that corporate chill vibe – that they’re testing the waters and seem open-minded about how this dance with Nintendo might go down. He’s all like, “Yeah, Nintendo’s been more about their own stuff but we’re game to see what happens.” I mean, talk about hedging bets, right?
If RDR2 makes it to the Switch 2 – just picture this – it’ll stretch Nintendo’s GameChat to its wits’ end. Everyone’s gonna be blurting out quotes like they’re in a Western-themed karaoke while poking fun at the ever-fascinating horse… details. Seriously, who thought virtual horse anatomy would ever be a talking point? It’ll be like those Minecraft movie nights – except you might steal a stagecoach or run into some creepy night riders.
Are you itching to saddle up again on Switch 2 if this rumor holds water? Just curious, and don’t mind the slight descent into rhyme back there. My bad!
