Summary
- Red Dead Redemption 2 to get a next-gen update and come to Switch 2, possibly by late summer.
- Possible fee for next-gen upgrade, but addition of new features such as cosmetics expected.
- Release aligning with GTA 6 delay to ensure steady profits for Take-Two Interactive.
Unlike Grand Theft Auto 5, which got a re-launch on latest console models (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S), Rockstar Games hasn’t yet given Red Dead Redemption 2 the same update for current platforms.
If it’s true what they’re saying, it won’t be long before we see an update for our open-world cowboy game, packed with improved features.
In addition, it’s expected that those who own Nintendo Switch 2 will get the game by the end of this year as well.
Red Dead Redemption 2 “Next-Gen” Update Planned By Rockstar And Releasing Soon It’s Claimed
According to trusted source NateTheHate in his recent video discussing Xbox Showcase speculations, the insider announced that the whispers were correct: Red Dead Redemption 2 will receive an upgrade for next-gen consoles and is expected to release on the Nintendo Switch 2 this year.
According to NateTheHate, it is likely that we won’t see the Switch 2 version of Red Dead Redemption 2 or the PS5, Xbox Series X|S patch for a few months following the launch of the Switch 2. This means we might be looking at a release window around late summer to early fall.
Based on recent speculation about the Switch 2, the leak hints that there might be an upcoming Nintendo Direct event. In this presentation, Nintendo is rumored to unveil the exciting news of Red Dead Redemption 2’s release on the long-awaited Switch 2 console.
Just as you would with any gossip, take such news with a pinch of skepticism. Although NateTheHate is generally reliable, remember that the information he shares is unofficial. So, don’t be surprised if we don’t get a next-gen update or a Switch version of Red Dead 2 anytime soon.
If it’s accurate, this rumor seems quite plausible. Not only could it boost sales of Red Dead Redemption 2, but I suspect that an upgrade to next-generation versions might not come at no cost (given Take-Two’s reputation). My speculation is that they will sell standalone PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions at full price, while offering a $10 upgrade option for those who already own the game. Here’s hoping this won’t be the case, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Take-Two Interactive decides to charge for this next-gen enhancement rather than making it free.
Instead of launching the game separately for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch 2, Take-Two could release an enhanced version known as the “Definitive Edition” that includes all these platforms. To make it special, they could upgrade the graphics, possibly include new character skins or in-game items, and there you have it!
Since Grand Theft Auto 6 won’t be available until May 2026, it gives Take-Two Interactive a consistent income stream that should harmonize well with the launch of their significant titles for the year: Mafia: The Old Country and Borderlands 4.
