The morning has brought an important surprise for those who closely follow Rockstar’s movements and enjoy Red Dead Redemption. The ESRB, the organization responsible for rating games in North America, has updated its database with an entry that shouldn’t exist yet… and it points directly to a release on current consoles and the newly arrived Nintendo Switch 2.

The appearance hasn’t occurred through rumors or anonymous leaks: it’s an official entry, publicly visible and associated with modern versions of the game. It’s the kind of movement that usually anticipates an upcoming announcement or a relaunch already approved internally.

Red Dead Redemption rated for Xbox Series, PS5, and Nintendo Switch 2

The entry shows the game registered under the Mature 17+ seal, with the same warnings of violence, blood, nudity, and explicit content as the original work. The most striking thing is the list of platforms:

• Xbox Series

• PlayStation 5

• Nintendo Switch 2

The rating includes a complete summary that matches the game as we know it, without references to new content. This fits with a technical relaunch, possibly an optimized or native version for current consoles and with adaptation for Nintendo’s new portable hardware.

Although Rockstar hasn’t officially communicated anything yet, these registrations are usually one of the last steps before the announcement. They’re public, verifiable, and in most cases, reflect products that are already approved for release.

The fact that the Switch 2 version also appears reinforces the idea that the company is preparing a coordinated multi-platform package, something we haven’t seen in a long time with this saga.
