One of the most critically acclaimed releases of recent years is Rockstar Games' Red Dead Redemption 2. With the Switch 2 expected to contain improved hardware to handle more graphically intensive games, RDR2 is the perfect game to test Nintendo's console to its limits.

The Nintendo Switch 2, the successor to the Nintendo Switch system, will be released in 2025, the company said.
