And the Rockstar Games news just keeps on coming. Following GTA VI’s official delay, Rockstar released a new trailer and gave some details on the characters and places players will meet and explore. Just because the next big game wasn’t coming this year didn’t mean Rockstar was going to stay quiet. Earlier this week, a Rockstar Games insider reported that a GTA IV port could release this year followed by a port of Max Payne 3 which could tie in with the release of the Max Payne remakes. Now, it’s being reported that Rockstar’s latest title, Red Dead Redemption II will not only make its way to Nintendo Switch 2, but will also be getting the long-awaited next-gen update for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S later this year too.

Gamereactor says that they “heard from sources close to Rockstar that the acclaimed Wild West open-world opus, considered one of the best video games ever, is not only on its way to Nintendo Switch 2, but could be coming to the new console as soon as later this year.”
Talking about the Nintendo Switch 2 and supporting it, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said that they are planning to support it at launch more than they had done for any previous Nintendo platform.
“We feel really good about it. But it always remains to be seen,” he said. “We’re offering more on launch support than ever before for a Nintendo platform. We’ve announced four titles for Switch 2. It remains to be seen how it does, but I am a big believer.”
Zelnick also talked about the struggle for third-party games on Nintendo platforms. “That is true,” Zelnick replied.
“Historically, Nintendo has done a better and more supportive job with first-party titles. But I think they are aiming to change that. And we have basically risen to the challenge and opportunity, and we’ll see how it goes. We voted with our feet. Nintendo has asked us to be supportive, and we do believe we’re doing that. Now we will see what happens.”
The next-gen update for Red Dead Redemption II could come at the same time as the Nintendo Switch 2 release, or it could come sometime later.
Red Dead Redemption got a PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch port in 2023. Last year, the game finally made its way to PC.
