Red Dead Redemption 2 Rumored for Switch 2 Release, Offering GameChat a Chance to Shine with Tahiti Tales and Horse Humor

You know, there’s this game everyone seems to love. It’s about a bunch of outlaws who start feeling pretty down as they wander around a massive map. Yeah, sounds like therapy in the Wild West. Anyway, word on the street—or more like whispers on the internet—is that it might mosey on over to the Nintendo Switch 2.

Heard it from Gamereactor, a website that says they’re tight with Rockstar. Apparently, this whole jazzy move could happen this year. Another Spanish site, Nintendúo, is nodding along like, “Yup, heard that too.” Makes you wonder what else Rockstar’s cooking up, doesn’t it?

Oh, and while we’re at it, Gamereactor also threw out this tidbit about an update to make the game look super snazzy on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Seems everything’s getting a facelift these days. Kinda like how your phone gets an update and suddenly, BAM, new emojis you didn’t know you needed.

And speaking of game drops, big names like Borderlands 4, Civilization 7, and others are already set to hit Switch 2. Tossing a Rockstar game in the mix makes it, what, a perfect five? In some chat with The Game Business, Strauss Zelnick—the big cheese over at Take-Two—mentioned those four are lined up. He’s got his fingers crossed, hoping they’ll do well. Claims he’s a “big believer.”

Zelnick even said Nintendo’s usually better with their own stuff, but they’re trying to change things up. Something about rising to challenges and, well, “voting with our feet.” I guess we’ll just have to see if that means more yeehaw or yee-naw for the Switch.

And if RDR2 lands on Switch 2, it might just push their GameChat to its limits. Imagine all the chatter, from quoting memes to snickering about horse anatomy. Don’t ask how I know about this; the internet’s a wild place. Picture it like a Minecraft movie night, but swap blocks for bandits. Sounds chaotic in the best possible way.

Are you gonna saddle up for RDR2 on Switch 2? Drop your thoughts below—promise I’ll try not to rhyme next time. Or maybe I will, who’s to say?
