Red Dead Redemption 2 Rumored for Switch 2 Release, Offering GameChat a Chance to Shine with Tahiti Rants

Ah, the joy of rambling about video games—my favorite! So, guess what? The whole world’s buzzing about this news that our dear ol’ cowboy game, you know, the one with the sad band of rebels galloping around a massive landscape, might mosey on over to the Nintendo Switch 2. Why, you ask? Well, I heard it from Gamereactor. They’ve been whispering to some folks at Rockstar who apparently spilled the beans. Or maybe dropped them accidentally. Not sure which.

Anyway, now there’s this Spanish site, Nintendúo, backing up the claim, like a trusty sidekick saying, “Yep, we heard it too!” Makes you wonder what’s cooking behind those scenes, right? I mean, just thinking about it—getting to blast through that open world but on a handheld?! Mind blown.

Oh, and by the way, Gamereactor didn’t stop there. They’ve also mentioned something about RDR2 getting a snazzy facelift for the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Imagine those rugged outlaws with even fancier graphics. I can’t decide if that makes me excited or just nervous. Probably both.

But wait—there’s more! Bigwig games like Borderlands 4, Civilization 7, and some others are already planning their grand entrance on the Switch 2. So sprinkling in a Rockstar hit would make a hefty handful, right? And speaking of hefty, Take-Two’s CEO Strauss Zelnick (what a name) chimed in on this action. Said he’s got high hopes for these games on the platform. But then, doesn’t everybody always say that?

Okay, quick sidetrack: ever notice how people love comparing Nintendo’s third-party support to a shy kid at a school dance, kinda sitting there waiting for someone to come over? Zelnick thinks they’re changing that vibe, which got me thinking, maybe this time they’ll actually pull it off. But who knows? Fingers crossed.

Back to the game—or games, whatever—I bet if RDR2 makes it to Switch 2, folks will test its online vibes. Imagine the chatter: meme lines hurled back and forth, and yeah, someone’s bound to bring up the ever-changing horse anatomy when it gets chilly. No idea why that stuck with people, but hey, it did.

So that’s the scoop. Or the rumor. Depends on your mood, I guess. Are you gonna saddle up and grab RDR2 if it hits the Switch 2? Drop your thoughts wherever you share those. And sorry if I rambled. Happens sometimes.
