Several months ago, the retiring president and chief operating officer of Nintendo of America, Reggie Fils-Aime, explained toRed Dead Redemption 2fans why Rockstar Games' open world action-adventure epic iscurrently not a Nintendo Switch release. Now, though, should a recent piece of supposedly leaked information by Target Australia be accurate, thenRDR2could very well be coming to the Big N’s hybrid mobile console at some point in the future.
This much has been discovered on page 12 of Target Australia’s latest catalogue, with the retailer listingRed Dead Redemption 2as being available on its current platforms of PlayStation 4 and Xbox, as well as on the Nintendo Switch. Following this particular find, Target has since updated the listing in its online catalogue to reflect a change that removes the Switch as one of the game’s supported platforms, with it now only showingRed Dead Redemption 2on Xbox One and PS4.
What’s more is that withRDR2being such a large and technically demanding game, it seems like a stretch that the Nintendo Switch would actually be able to support it - that is, unlessRed Dead Redemption 2received a graphics downgradeof major proportions to make it palatable on the system. Nevertheless, stranger things have happened.
All things considered, it would definitely be interesting to see whatRed Dead Redemption 2could be like as a Nintendo Switch experience. Recent reports have indicated that the Big N is working on aSwitch “Pro”, which could provide a boost in power compared to the original version of the console, but it remains to be seen if such an increase in hardware heft would be strong enough to run a title likeRed Dead Redemption 2.
Red Dead Redemption 2is available now for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
