Thanks. Since LA Noire appeared on Switch, both have a chance of being ported (maybe with severe cuts).

Both? You mean on GTA V and La Noire? Definitely, I mean GTA V is last gen game same like La Noire, and same like La Noire GTA V was re-released on PS4/XB1. Also full portable GTA V would be huge deal, it would sell at least few millions on Switch also, also we had before rumours that GTA V was in development for Switch.

RDR2 is totally different thing, game thats was 8 years in development, from moment they know PS4/XB1 specs was focused just for those specs, it pushing PS4/XB1 hardware to max...so even if they know for Switch specs before and even if they did know that Switch will not be fail similar to Wii U, hardly they would bring RDR2 to Switch.

If they believe there is good sales potential they may as well hire a port company to recode and remove all "excess" from the game. How competent in portraying the game that would be? I have no idea as it would need to look closely to the assets. But as said before Switch can handle open world games (they could even do a RDR1 port first to see the acceptance of the game).
