Widely regarded as one of the finest games ever made, Red Dead Redemption 2’s lack of any sort of ‘Next-Gen’ upgrade has always been a source of frustration for fans. That all may be about to change however, as according to a new report from GameReactor, the game may be heading to Nintendo Switch 2, and as they’re working on it a Red Dead Redemption 2 ‘Next-Gen Upgrade Patch’ may be on the cards as well.
Per GameReactor, “Gamereactor has heard from sources close to Rockstar that the acclaimed Wild West open-world opus, considered one of the best video games ever, is not only on its way to Nintendo Switch 2, but could be coming to the new console as soon as later this year. The very same has been heard and is corroborated over at Nintendúo, and from different sources.
What’s more, RDR2 for Switch 2 wouldn’t be coming alone or as a one-off move, but it’s possible that it could be coming at the same time, or somewhat later, as an update to the game for current-gen hardware – one of the so-called “next-gen upgrade patch” that brings the graphics and performance of Red Dead Redemption 2 up to date for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.“
Now to be fair to GameReactor, they’ve caveated this with a large grain of salt, stating that of course, “plans can change, especially when we’re talking about a turbulent few years in the gaming industry and about a Rockstar and a Nintendo that are also readjusting their schedules.“
