Red Dead Redemption 2 has been rated for the Nintendo Switch in Brazil, just a month after a port of the first game was released, leaving many to speculate on whether Rockstar will bring the title to the console.
The details:
- As spotted by X user @necrolipe, Brazil's government ratings board currently lists Nintendo Switch alongside Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC as the platforms Red Dead Redemption 2 is currently available on. It's unclear when the platform was added to the listing, but we know it had to be recent as the Xbox and PS4 versions were rated in September 2018, and the now-unavailable 2019 Google Stadia version isn't present.
- Last month, Rockstar announced a PS4 and Switch port of the original Red Dead Redemption, which was controversial due to the lack of a PC port, the little improvement in visuals over the original PS3 version, and its $50 price tag despite essentially being the same exact game from 2010.
- If Rockstar has decided to port the critically acclaimed sequel, it will be a miracle if many of the game's graphics and other quality settings aren't dialed all the way down to achieve a solid frame rate. The original RDR runs at a solid 30FPS on the aging console, with a number of visual differences to the PS4 version, implying that RDR2 may need to be a cloud-based title to even run on the system.
More gaming news:
- Due to ongoing DDoS attacks, Destiny 2 players have been unable to play the shooter without experiencing network issues for the past week. Bungie confirmed the attacks early last week, with various in-game issues such as broken AI, inaccessible locations, and frequent disconnects persisting.
- Payday 3 developer Starbreeze has apologized for the game's disastrous launch over the weekend, claiming that the server issues were caused by an error in a third-party matchmaking service. Fans are refusing to accept the apology and are instead demanding that the studio include a true offline mode in the game.
