RDR2 Reportedly Headed to Switch 2 in 2025
According to new reports, Red Dead Redemption 2 could be released on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 later this year. The console is expected to launch on June 5, 2025, and RDR2 may be among its first major titles.
While Rockstar Games hasn’t confirmed the port, sources close to the company suggest a Switch 2 version is in development. If true, this would mark the game’s first appearance on any Nintendo platform, making it a significant moment for both Rockstar and Nintendo fans.
The Switch 2 is rumored to include a custom Nvidia Tegra T239 chip, 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and a 7.9-inch LCD display supporting 1080p and 120Hz refresh rates. These upgrades would likely allow it to handle the technical demands of RDR2 far better than the original Switch.
If this port materializes, it would expand the game’s reach to handheld audiences while showcasing what the Switch 2 is capable of. For Rockstar, it’s a chance to breathe new life into one of its most celebrated titles; for Nintendo, it’s a power statement that AAA open-world experiences are finally viable on portable hardware.
Whether this turns out to be a native port or a cloud version remains unclear, but the excitement building around this potential release shows just how much anticipation surrounds both the game and Nintendo’s next-gen console.
