Nintendo Switch 2 leaks are all over the internet at the moment, as we get closer and closer to the console’s inevitable reveal. First, apparent pictures of the system’s Joy-Cons leaked, which was followed by leaks following a reported showcase of the console at CES 2025. Everything from the system’s alleged logo, to the reported price of accessories is spreading.
Unfortunately for Nintendo, the leaks are continuing at a pretty rapid pace, as it seems as though a list of third-party publishers planning to support the console close to launch has been found. This list was apparently found by Reddit user Future31 in a preloaded Nintendo Switch 2 store page by French retailer FNAC, and features publishers such as Bandai Namco, Square Enix, Bethesda, Take-Two, and more.
Nintendo Switch 2 Leaks Seemingly Reveal Red Dead Redemption 2 And Tekken 8 Ports
Now, these listings don’t specifically mention which games these are, but some further sleuthing has almost guaranteed what some of them will be. Twitter user Bouboune0 recently pointed out that the French version of the first Red Dead Redemption on Nintendo Switch has an extremely similar EAN (European Article Number) to this newly discovered Take Two Switch listing.

The upcoming console has been revealed at CES 2025 before Nintendo had a chance to.
Take a look at the Take Two page, and you’ll find the page’s EAN is listed as “3615993699512”. Bouboune0 then shares the EAN of the French Switch version of the first Red Dead Redemption is “3615993696955”, which is extremely similar. They then go on to claim that both the EAN for both Tekken 8 and FIFA are also extremely similar to the pages for Bandai Namco and EA.
It’s not confirmation that these games will launch on the Nintendo Switch 2, but it’s the best evidence we’ll likely get before Nintendo finally lifts the lid on the whole thing. If these leaks are accurate, that should give us a decent idea as to how powerful the system itself is, with recent rumors suggesting it’s about as powerful as a PS4 Pro. Given that Red Dead Redemption 2 launched on PS4, it doesn’t require the biggest leap to suggest it’s on the way.
As a prequel to the original game, Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2 sees you take the role of Arthur Morgan – an outlaw looking for redemption – as he and the Van der Linde gang are on the run, in a time where the Wild West is diminishing.
