Red Dead Redemption 2 Reportedly Set for Switch 2 Release, Giving GameChat a Chance to Shine

Okay, so, picture this: everyone’s darling little past-time, that whole hoo-ha with the gang of dusty cowboys wandering aimlessly through a gigantic world, just grappling with their existential crises. Yeah, the one that’s making everyone all gloomy and introspective. It might be galloping its way onto the Nintendo Switch 2 soon. Or maybe not. Who really knows?

So, this tidbit, or gossip, if you like—grabbed from Gamereactor, y’know, the place that dishes out whispers from places unknown, like that bakery down the street where they pretend not to know what’s in the mysterious pie. They say, “Hey, maybe Rockstar’s game will pop up on Nintendo’s shiny, possibly still imaginary toy. Could be this year; could be never.” Some other folks, Nintendúo, tossed their own version of this rumor into the ring. Because one source isn’t enough in the ever-murky world of game rumors, right?

Pause—oh, look, technology! A big, splashy update’s in the works for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Because good isn’t good enough, it needs to be spectacular, apparently. Better graphics, faster speeds, maybe even jazz hands. Fancy that.

And you’ve got those other hefty games, y’know? Borderlands 4, Civilization 7, the usual suspects like NBA and WWE 2K. Throw a Rockstar game in, it’s like stuffing one more muffin into an overstuffed basket. Can we juggle all this without dropping to the metaphorical floor though?

That Strauss Zelnick guy—games tycoon or something—was yapping away at The Game Business. He’s optimistic. The guy’s brimming over with belief, like a cup that’s been overfilled with hope. And Nintendo, oh boy, they’ve got a plan. A nebulous plan maybe, but a plan nonetheless. Trying to widen the ol’ horizons beyond first-party titles. How very ambitious.

But hold onto your hats, ’cause if RDR2 does land on Switch 2, it’ll be like a gathering of sorts. Gamers belting out goofy lines, chatting about horsey anatomical changes—that’s a thing, I guess—and cooling their boots in the virtual wild north. Imagine a Minecraft movie night but with more chaos, like stealing stagecoaches and unexpected meet-ups with the Klan. Craziness, utter craziness.

Okay, so maybe this is rambling, but would you actually go for a ride with RDR2 on the Switch 2? I mean, if it actually happens—seriously, let us know your thoughts. And yep, I went all Dr. Seuss there for a second. Whoops.
