Red Dead Redemption 2 was one of the best games in the last console generation, but it has yet to appear on a Nintendo system. However, that may change later this year as a new report suggests that Red Dead Redemption 2 is not only coming to Switch 2, but may also be getting a modern console update.
YouTube creator Nate the Hate was the first to report that Switch 2's Red Dead Redemption 2 port will arrive alongside an update that improves the game on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. RDR 2 has previously been playable on both consoles through backwards compatibility. Nate the Hate suggests that RDR 2 will hit Switch 2 and the other consoles later this summer or in the fall.
Last month, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick told investors that he is "a big believer" in Switch 2, but he stopped short of confirming any plans to bring Rockstar's games to the system. Rockstar previously ported the original Red Dead Redemption to PS4 and Nintendo Switch in 2023. That game celebrated its 15th anniversary earlier this year.
There have been previous reports about a potential remaster of Grand Theft Auto 4 for modern consoles, which has yet to be confirmed. GTA 4 was released in 2008 for PS3 and Xbox 360, coming to PC later that year. Through backwards compatibility, GTA 4 can be played on Xbox Series X|S, but PlayStation 5 players don't currently have an option to revisit it.
Take-Two and Rockstar's next big release is Grand Theft Auto 6, which will hit PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on May 26, 2026.
