Recently, rumors have suggested Red Dead Redemption 2 could become available on the newest home console generation with an update for the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, similar to Grand Theft Auto 5's March update that enhanced graphics and added new features. While the possibility of experiencing Red Dead Redemption 2 on new generation consoles is exciting, Nintendo Switch gamers may also be wondering when it will be possible to roam the Old West as Arthur Morgan - and the answer may be just around the corner.

IGN 's Brudvig identified that Red Dead Redemption 's narrative themes reflected modern society, including racism, government power, and immigration; [30] Will Tuttle of GameSpy found that they occasionally felt "preachy", but were typically more nuanced than expected. [136] Mike Channell of Official Xbox Magazine ( OXM) considered the death of the Wild West a pressure that loomed over the narrative. [140] Matt Bertz of Game Informer felt that the narrative momentum suffered from the length of the missions in Mexico, but praised the game's ending for using a "sense of immersiveness only a video game can impart". [12] IGN 's Brudvig similarly lauded the game's climax as one of the best in gaming. [30] Herring of GamePro was surprised by the likability of John Marston, describing him as "one of the more sympathetic antiheroes in recent memory". [9] He also felt that, despite being based on caricatures of Spaghetti Western films, the game's secondary characters were "interesting enough that they never feel contrived"; [9] conversely, Paste reviewer Kirk Hamilton opined that the "clichéd and unlikeable" supporting characters undermined the narrative. [141] GameSpot 's Justin Calvert applauded the detail of the "deeply flawed but very likable" Marston, noting that his scars and outfit made him feel more believable. [8] Brudvig of IGN wrote that Marston's motivations were occasionally confusing and felt alienated from the narrative. [30] The song "Far Away" by José González plays as Marston enters Mexico in a scene described by critics as "perfect" and "beautiful". [142] [143] Hester, Blake (January 7, 2022).

While this could be an indicator for a future Nintendo Switch release, we advise you to take this with a pinch of salt. There are just too many reasons speaking against Red Dead Redemption 2 coming to Switch anytime soon and we can't verify if the post is actually true. In the end, the Switch release only highlights how much more ambitious the PS4 version should have been. Given the lower power spec of Nintendo's console, the release of Red Dead Redemption on Switch is, relatively speaking, much more of a success. Its 1080p30 experience is close to the base PS4 experience - barring the missing FSR2 option, plus the dropped shadow and texture filtering quality. Textures, draw distances are all intact. Equally, it offers the game in portable form. In that respect, the Switch versionmanages to meet expectations, where you'd have hoped for more on PS4 and PS5 systems.
