Rockstar Games is expected to launch Red Dead Redemption 2 at Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025. The information comes from reports published by specialized websites. In addition to the Nintendo's new console version, the studio would be preparing a graphic update for the current generation consoles.
Possible reformulation would bring performance improvements and visuals closer to current standards. The edition has already been cited as limited on PS5, operating in 4K resolution, but still at 30 frames per second. The supposed patch would correct this.
Update also on PS5 and Xbox Series
According to sources heard by the Gamereator, the new version of Red Dead Redemption 2 should better enjoy the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S hardware. The update would bring greater fluidity, with a promise of 60 frames per second and improved charts.
The expectation of players for this upgrade has existed since the launch of the new consoles. Still, almost five years later, no official improvement was implemented. Now, with recent information, the scenario can change.
In addition, rumors point out that the new generation patch can arrive with the Switch 2 version or just before. The proximity between releases is not yet defined, but indicates a coordinated strategy.
Even without official announcement of Rockstar or Nintendo, reports gain strength with the recent speech by Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick. In an interview, he stated that the company intends to offer more support to Switch 2 than in previous generations.
Rockstar can bet on more games at Nintendo Switch 2
During a meeting with investors, Take-Two confirmed four games for Nintendo's new console. Civilization VII, Borderlands 4, WWE 2K and NBA 2K are on the initial list of planned releases.
Zelnick acknowledged that Nintendo historically is more successful with its own games. Still, he said he believed in a change in this standard. The company should try to expand the presence of Third-Party titles (from external studios) in the new generation.
This effort helps reinforce rumors about Red Dead Redemption 2. Considered one of the most acclaimed games of recent years, the title requires high processing power. An adaptation for a portable console raises doubts, but also interest.
The success of this strategy will depend on Switch 2's ability to deal with more demanding games. The good performance of the game will define if the public will welcome this possible version.
Red Dead Redemption 2 marked the industry
Originally released in 2018 for PS4 and Xbox One, Red Dead Redemption 2 won public and critics. Rockstar delivered a detailed open world with engaging narrative and striking look that still impresses years later.
The following year, the game came to computers, expanding its reach. Since then, fans have been asking for a version that takes advantage of the full potential of the new consoles.
The absence of specific updates for PS5 and Xbox Series has bothered part of the community. Now, the company is expected to compensate for waiting with a robust update.
