could be out by the end of 2025, and there are reports of a next-gen upgrade for PS5 and Xbox Series X and S.

That's according to

, which reports sources "close to Rockstar" have said a Switch 2 version of Rockstar's Wild West romp is on the way, along with a "next-gen upgrade patch" that will also improve the game for current-gen systems (PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S).

Though details are sketchy, GameReactor's sources assert the port and the upgrade patch could be out as early as later this year.

It echoes similar claims made by

, which reports the Switch 2 version of Red Dead Redemption 2 should be released in Take-Two's current financial year, which ends March 31, 2026. It's unclear if the port will release digitally-only or be sold as a physical edition, too.

We considered Red Dead Redemption 2 a "masterpiece" when it released in 2018, awarding it a 10/10.

said: "Red Dead Redemption 2 is a game of rare quality; a meticulously polished open-world ode to the outlaw era."

Perhaps red Dead Redemption 2 coming to Switch 2 wouldn't come as a huge surprise. In a Q&A with investors following Take-Two's most recent financial results, CEO Strauss Zelnick answered a question about the publisher's support of the Switch 2 by saying he felt "great optimism" for Nintendo's new platform. In fact, he said Nintendo's support of third-party publishers this time around was better than it had been in the past.

"We're launching four titles with Nintendo Switch 2, and that's I think a ******* array of releases than we've ever offered before with a new Nintendo platform," he said. "Historically, being a third-party in the Nintendo business has been a bit challenging. I think Nintendo has been very forthcoming in addressing that. And we're stepping up too, because we have great optimism for the platform. In terms of what we would bring to any platform, we address it on a case-by-case basis, we obviously want to be where the consumers are. But we would not necessarily bring every title to every platform. There are also great catalog opportunities as well."

Specifically, Take-Two is bringing Civilization 7 (June 5, launch day), the NBA 2K and WWE 2K series (unclear which games, or when), and Borderlands 4 (September 12). Those admittedly aren't surprising inclusions, as Take-Two was already publishing all four franchises on the Nintendo Switch. But Zelnick's quote does make it sound like the door could be open in the future to other releases, especially from Take-Two's back catalog. GTA 6 probably won't make the cut, but perhaps GTA V or red Dead Redemption 2?
