Oh man, where to even start with this? So, okay, there’s this game. You know the one — where you’re basically a cowboy out there in the Wild West, just living your most existential life. Someone said it’s gonna show up on the Switch 2. Yep, you heard me right. Not sure when exactly, but rumors are swirling, maybe this year? I dunno, could be wrong.
Apparently, this intel comes from Gamereactor. They got a note from somewhere deep in the Rockstar galaxy — kind of like, “hey, this game might slide into the Switch 2 lineup.” And there’s some Spanish outlet, Nintendúo, backing up the talk with their own whispers. Go figure.
Meanwhile, they’ve also got this juicy bit about sprucing up the graphics for RDR2 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Imagine a cowboy game looking even more epic. New consoles, new life — something like that?
Oh, and there’s chatter about other big-name games like Borderlands 4 and Civilization 7 hopping over to Switch 2. Take-Two’s boss, Strauss Zelnick (what a name, right?), had some thoughts on this in an interview. He mentioned something about Nintendo being all about their own titles but seems like they’re changing their tune. Good on them, I guess?
If this whole cowboy deal goes through, it’s probably gonna push that GameChat feature on Nintendo’s box to its limits. Picture it: memes, horse anatomy jokes — which is a thing for some reason — probably even a virtual run-in with the Ku Klux Klan. Kind of like Minecraft, but with more gunfights and slightly less crafting.
So, would you pick up RDR2 on Switch 2 if it becomes real? I’m curious. Oh, and excuse the random rhyme back there. Got a bit carried away.
