Studio known for Red Dead Redemption port hires for high-profile project
Double Eleven is the studio that is known for porting original Red Dead Redemption to Switch 2. They are looking for a Lead Programmer right now to work on a full art remaster of a beloved game. There's another job listing for Principal Low-Level Graphics Programmer which requires experience in modern console platforms. The graphics job description specifically mentions preferred experience in Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.
This is interesting in the light of earlier rumors that GTA 6 might be ported to Switch 2. We have seen an earlier leak on Cdiscount where Switch 2 port of the game was hinted at. In the past, an ex Rockstar developer however cast doubts on its technical feasibility.
Note that there is no confirmation on the project name from these job listings. It can very well be any other game like Red Dead Redemption 2 for instance.
We've been following GTA 6 closely in our previous reports. We have looked at how the narrative of GTA 6 relies heavily on Red Dead Redemption 2 dynamics. From the current hiring spree, it looks like Double Eleven is definitely not just working on Red Dead port and adding more things to their plate. Stay tuned for official announcement from studio or publisher if you are looking forward to Switch 2 exclusive games.
