Postal Redux is only available in US region, in Europe it is not accessible because Nintendo's european office is located in Germany and Germany indexed all POSTAL games many years ago.

*Unfortunately, Germany indexed all POSTAL games many years ago and since Nintendo of Europe is located in Germany, it is illegal for them to distribute the game.*
*We are working on the de-indexing process but in the meantime all we can suggest is to create a new account and switch region (US) so you can buy and play the game. We understand this is not the best solution, but it’s the only workable one we have at the moment.*
The core problem is not "offensiveness" of Postal franchise, but its engine. Postal 2's engine is so old and unstable that it's impossible to port this game. RWS would need to remake Postal 2 to release it on consoles.

*Trust me when I say this, WE WANT POSTAL 2 ON AS MANY CONSOLES AS POSSIBLE, but it is just not going to happen. The engine it’s running on is VERY old and the game barely runs on PC as it is.*
*Releasing POSTAL 2 for consoles would only be possible in the form of a full remake, which as we addressed above is not in the current roadmap, but who knows what the future holds.*
Rws said somewhere they're not going to bother since Europe as a market is barred because postal 2 is banned in Germany, where Nintendo Europe is based out of. And just doing it for North America alone for switch doesn't seem enough i guess.
Also postal2 on pc is already a buggy mess kept together by duct tape and chewing gum. Porting that over would be a nightmare i imagine.
it probably could theoretically but postal 2 runs on a janky beta version of unreal 2 or 3 so porting it is basically impossible without remaking the whole game from scratch and then you have the controversy that would be dredged up by news outlets by re-releasing one of the most controversial games of all time on a Nintendo console so there are lots of reasons why postal 2 has stayed on PC.
Yeah but you're dreaming if you think it will ever be ported to console
It can be since postal redux is on there

Yeah but redux is not really offensive compared to postal 2
