Rob Wiethoff, the voice actor behind John Marston, has sparked speculation after confirming that “exciting news” related to Red Dead Redemption will be revealed next week. The comment was made during a Red Dead Redemption community stream and immediately set off new waves of rumor regarding a possible Nintendo Switch 2 port or next-gen update.
Could Red Dead Ride Onto Switch 2?
Rockstar Games has been relatively quiet about Red Dead Redemption 2’s future, but recent leaks have suggested that a Switch 2 version is currently in development, alongside long-awaited enhancements for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Nothing has been confirmed by Rockstar, but Wiethoff’s timing—and the stream context—has fans watching closely.
The voice actor didn’t drop any specific names or platforms, but he confirmed that an official announcement is coming “next week.” In the world of Rockstar, that’s enough to fuel days of speculation—especially as Nintendo just wrapped its own major summer Direct earlier this month.

A port of the original Red Dead Redemption for Switch was released in 2023 with solid results, and with Switch 2 capable of delivering higher fidelity gameplay, a full RDR2 port or remaster is now technically feasible. Whether it’s a cloud version, performance-tuned native build, or a definitive edition, any Red Dead presence on Switch 2 would mark a major win for Rockstar and Nintendo alike.
More Than a Tease?
With GTA VI on the horizon and Rockstar slowly revisiting its other open-world classics, all eyes are on next week’s announcement. Until then, Red Dead fans are left to ride the rumor trail.
