The Red Dead Redemption 2 Nintendo Switch 2 Rumor Better be True

Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption series has grown to become immensely popular over the years, with both the first and second parts being wildly successful, both critically and commercially.

The games have received multiple ports across a variety of systems prior, with notable entries being on the PC and Nintendo Switch. However, Red Dead Redemption 2 still remains unavailable on the Nintendo Switch as of today, but the Switch 2’s launch might change things in the near future.

, Rockstar Games seems to be working on a port of Red Dead Redemption 2 for the Nintendo Switch 2. This second entry in the Red Dead franchise is expected to be released sometime later next year.

Taking all rumors into account, the game should be released for the Nintendo Switch 2 before March 31, 2026, at the end of Rockstar Games’ current fiscal year. This is reallyn’t too far away and is something to look forward to.

Nintendo has been making some big moves recently with its upcoming handheld-docked-console hybrid, and one of its prime areas of focus seems to be third-party support for this generation.

As such, Rockstar Games releasing the game for Switch 2 users makes total sense, especially given that its predecessor already received a port of the first game. For the uninitiated, Red Dead Redemption is already available for the Nintendo Switch.

The game runs surprisingly well on the console and maintains a solid 30 frames per second on both handheld and docked modes.

All things considered, however, the Switch 2 could realistically be getting Red Dead Redemption 2 before the end of 2025, unless there are any additional delays.

Another curious thing to note here would be that the alleged report also mentioned next-gen remasters of the first game for current-gen consoles such as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Keep in mind that this report is based on rumors and does not guarantee the release of the game for the Switch 2. Only time will tell if this holds up.

The Switch 2 is more than capable of playing the game

To make things clear, Red Dead Redemption 2 was built with the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles in mind. Given that it is a last-generation title, the game runs spectacularly well on weaker systems, such as the Steam Deck.

As such, the Nintendo Switch 2 should be quite capable of running the game on its own. After all, the Switch 2 is slightly more powerful than a PS4 Pro while docked, and comes with DLSS upscaling, which should make a noticeable impact in performance.

Coupled with its 12 GB of unified system memory and the custom Nvidia APU, the Switch 2 should theoretically be able to run the game without any hiccups. After all, the console is noted to play demanding titles such as Cyberpunk: 2077 with ease.

Don’t expect it to be able to run Red Dead Redemption 2 with maxed-out visual fidelity or even 60 FPS either, though. A more reasonable expectation would be 30 FPS gameplay with a mixture of Medium-High settings across both modes.
