Everybody’s got that one game—y’know, the one with the cowboys and existential dread? I swear, they just gallop around this massive world, getting sadder by the minute. Anyway, rumor has it that this opus of despair is moseying on over to the Nintendo Switch 2. Or so says Gamereactor, who apparently chatted with someone whispering insider secrets from Rockstar’s camp. Yeah, they claim we’ll see it on Nintendo’s shiny new gizmo “real soon.” Nintendúo jumped in to say, “Yep, we heard it too,” thanks to their own fly-on-the-wall sources.
Now, here’s a weird bit—ever hear your tires squeal like angry wet cardboard? That sound probably has nothing to do with this, but it’s stuck in my head. Anyway, Gamereactor mentions some sorta performance overhaul for RDR2 on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Seems like they want this game to dazzle on all fronts, or maybe just on some new hardware.
But the juicy bit? Take-Two’s lineup. We’re talkin’ Borderlands 4, Civilization 7, NBA 2K, WWE 2K—basically a gaming buffet for Switch 2, with Rockstar the potential cherry on top. Strauss Zelnick, the big cheese over at Take-Two, chatted with The Game Business. He’s hopeful but tentative about how this extra-snazzy launch will pan out, though he’s a self-proclaimed “big believer” in Ninty’s game.
“Historically,” Zelnick mutters, “Nintendo’s been all about them first-party titles, but tides are changing, folks.” So, while Nintendo flexes a bit more space for third-party creators, Take-Two’s sorta thrown their cowboy hat into the ring, wondering what storm they’ll ride into now.
If RDR2 makes the leap to Switch 2, brace yourselves for a social media avalanche. Picture the chats—people belting iconic lines, marveling at digital horse anatomy in the frigid north. It’s like a Minecraft movie night, but with bandits and maybe a random encounter with, uh, unsavory historical figures.
Would you go all in on RDR2 for Switch 2? Or are you all “nah, I’ve seen enough horses for one lifetime”? Tell me what you think, and sorry if the rhyming got too rhyme-y.
