Oh man, where to even start with this one? So picture this: your favorite game, you know, the one where you get to be this cowboy outlaw in the wild, wild west—yeah, that one. Seems like it’s moseying on over to the Nintendo Switch 2. Or at least that’s the buzz I’ve heard swirling around lately.
Let’s unpack this a little. Apparently, Gamereactor caught wind of this potential cowboy invasion from someone who’s, like, sitting pretty close to Rockstar. They say our rootin’, tootin’ pals could be trotting onto the Switch 2 maybe even, get this, “later this year.” (I know, right?!) And before I forget to mention, Nintendúo, you know, that Spanish outlet? Yeah, they’ve chimed in too. So, there’s that.
Here’s the thing, though. Not just the Switch is getting love. There’s talk of a shiny update for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Something to make Red Dead Redemption 2 hum like nobody’s business. A graphics facelift that’s supposed to blow our cowboy hats off. Sidebar: my PlayStation’s been giving me grief lately, so this better be worth it.
Speaking of games, there’ve been whispers about Borderlands 4, Civilization 7, and some sports titles like NBA 2K reaching the Switch 2 shores as well. Word from The Game Business—that’s a magazine, by the way, not just, like, the concept of game business—is that bigwig Strauss Zelnick is pretty chill on these games hitting the Switch. He kind of hinted Nintendo’s trying to step up with non-Nintendo titles. But, like, we’ll see.
Anyway, if our cowboy saga does land on Switch 2, it’ll probably become a wild test for, you know, handling all that online banter. Imagine everyone jumping in just to drop meme lines and chat about those infamous horse details. You know the ones, right? Ahem…getting a bit sidetracked here, but horse balls in cold weather—what a topic!
So, seriously, if Red Dead 2 actually shows up on Switch 2, are you in? Would love to hear your thoughts, especially if you got through all my rambling here. Sorry about the terrible rhyme earlier! Sometimes my brain just goes there.
