Reliable
insider
and
knower
of
things
Nate
the
Hate
has
confirmed
that
the
long-rumoured
(and
hoped
for)
current-gen
update
for

Red
Dead
Redemption
2
is
real,
as
is
the
Switch
2
port.
Best
of
all,
both
are
scheduled
for
this
year.

Speaking
on
the
latest
episode
of
his
podcast,
Nate
the
Hate’s
co-host
was
throwing
around
ideas
about
what
may
appear
at
the
Xbox
showcase/Summer
Game
Fest
and
mentioned
all
of
the
Red
Dead
Redemption
2
rumours.
Nate
the
Hate
had
this
to
say:
“Right,
so,
I
will
comment
on
those
rumours:
it’s
true,
Red
Dead
Redemption
2
is
getting
a
next-gen
update
and
the
game
will
be
coming
to

Nintendo
Switch
2
later
this
year.”

Nate
went
on
to
say
that
he
was
actually
going
to
hold
off
sharing
that
information
until
it
was
time
to
make
a

Nintendo
Direct
predictions
video,
as
“I
feel
that’s
a
game
Nintendo
would
want
to
have
as
kind
of
a
headliner
in
the
direct”.

His
co-host
floated
the
idea
of
the
update
and
port
hitting
this
holiday,
to
which
Nate
replied:
“Yeah,
from
what
I
was
told
it
should
be
a
few
months
after
the
Switch
2
launch,
so
I’m
thinking
maybe
that
late
summer,
early
Fall
window.”

Of
course,
fans
have
been
hoping
since
the
Xbox
Series
X
and
PlayStation
5
launched
that
Rockstar
would
update
their
massive
cowboy
game
to
take
advantage
of
the
hardware,
but
Rockstar
has
always
been
weird
about
updating
their
titles.
Look
how
long
it
took
them
to
give
us
a
better
version
of
Red
Dead
Redemption,
after
all.
