To add to those leaks it’s believed some of the console’s launch titleshave been exposed, and one of them is unexpected but a banger nonetheless.

It’s not a first-party Nintendo title either, it’s none other thanRed Dead Redemption, we don’t know which one though.

Researchers reckon there’s a good chance that it’sRed Dead Redemption 2, which seems likely as the first game is already on the Nintendo Switch and it’s inevitable that the Nintendo Switch 2 is backwards compatible.

The researchers also say Tekken 8 and FIFA games will join it as the first third-party titles on the console.

Take this with a pinch of salt though as it’s still early days, but if it’s true this should tell us everything we need to know about the Nintendo Switch 2’s capabilities, asRed Dead Redemption 2is a massive game and needs certain hardware to run it properly.

Hopefully that’s the case and it’s not a cloud-streamed version, but given how almost all sources say Nintendo’s next home console is a significant upgrade over its predecessor, there’s a pretty solid chance that it’s the real deal.
