The rumored release of Red Dead Redemption 2 on the Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S are reported still in development, according to leaker NatetheHate.
He was asked his confidence level of a generation nine update and Switch 2 version of the game. He replied, "Yes, they exist. I have no update on timing for release."
This follows a rumor earlier this year that a Switch 2 port of Red Dead Redemption 2 would release later this year.
Red Dead Redemption 2 first released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in October 2018, and for PC in November 2019. The game has sold over 77 million units as of June 2025.
