"I got a strong feeling for GTA IV port too": Fans expect Nintendo Direct to feature GTA IV and RDR2

Modern console ports of GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2) are rumored to be in the works. Rockstar Games hasn't suggested anything so far, but some fans are speculating that the ports will be announced in the upcoming Nintendo Direct. For those wondering, this is an online event to showcase new and upcoming titles for the Nintendo Switch consoles.

@videotechuk_, a prominent member of the Rockstar Games' fan community on X, expects that an RDR2 port will be revealed at the Nintendo Direct. While replying, @Mehjustabiscuit stated they were hoping for a GTA IV port too.

In another reply to @videotechuk_, X user @rxehaan said that they would buy a Nintendo Switch 2, which released in June 2025, just to be able to play Red Dead Redemption 2 on a portable console.

"fingers crossed, i’d 100% buy a switch for a portable experience"

@GameRoll_, also a known name in the Rockstar fanbase, expressed hope for a Nintendo Switch 2 port announcement of the developer's 2018 western classic.

"Fingers crossed for an RDR2 Switch 2 port announcement. Probably unlikely but anything is possible."

On the other hand, @StriX960 stated that they are looking forward to seeing the rumored Grand Theft Auto 4 port possibly get revealed at the event.

While an announcement of either of these ports at the upcoming Nintendo Direct would be great, readers should remember that both are only rumored at this point.

Tez2, a Rockstar Games insider with a great track record, recently reported that a GTA IV port to modern consoles could be in development, but no particular systems were mentioned in their statement. Fans believe it might drop on the Nintendo Switch 2, similar to how Red Dead Redemption released on the PS4 and Nintendo Switch in August 2023.

Similarly, a report by Gamereactor stated that RDR2 could be on its way to the Switch 2.

With no official announcements or even hints so far, a definitive answer cannot be provided. However, as Rockstar Games rarely collaborates with such events, the possibility of either port being revealed at the new Nintendo Direct seems low. Nevertheless, with the event around the corner at the time of writing, fans won't have to wait long to find out.
