New Yeee-Hardware? Red Dead Redemption 2 is reportedly coming to Switch 2, which would give GameChat a chance to prove its worth via yelling about Tahiti and horse balls 'Guys, Dutch clearly has a plan, why wouldn't I trust him?' said the Switch 2 player to their fellow chatters. Image credit: Nintendo/Rockstar Games News by Mark Warren Senior Staff Writer Published on May 16, 2025 Everyone's favourite game about a gang of rootin', tootin' outlaws slowly getting more and more depressed as they scamper around a very big map is reportedly set to come to Nintendo Switch 2. This is according to Gamereactor, with the site claiming it's heard from sources close to Rockstar that the game could be rocking up on Nintendo's latest game-playing box "as soon as later this year". It cites Spanish publication Nintendúo as having corroborated this claim via different sources. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Gamereactor also alleges having heard that a graphics and performance improvement-focused update to RDR2 to make it really sing on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S is also coming, potentially around the same time as the cowboy adventure hits Switch 2. Big Take-Two published games Borderlands 4, Civilization 7, NBA 2K, and WWE 2K are all already slated to hit Switch 2, so lobbing something from Rockstar in there would mean a fifth. In a recent inteview with The Game Business, the publisher's CEO Strauss Zelnick acknowledged those four games coming to Switch for launch, saying that it "remains to be seen how those games do on the plaform, but adding that he's "a big believer". "Historically, Nintendo has done a better and more supportive job with first-party titles," Zelnick added, "But I think they are aiming to change that. And we have basically risen to the challenge and opportunity, and we’ll see how it goes. We voted with our feet. Nintendo has asked us to be supportive, and we do believe we’re doing that. Now we will see what happens." If RDR2 does hit Switch 2, it should at the very least prove to be a pretty strenous test of Ninty's GameChat feature, with folks getting together to belt out all of the meme lines and point out every instance of horse balls changing size because someone rode way up north into the cold. It'll be like a Minecraft movie screening, but with slightly more stagecoach theft and random encounters with the Ku Klux Klan. Will you play RDR2 on Switch 2 if indeed that becomes a thing you can do? Let us know below, and sorry for getting a bit weird with the rhyming there.
