Nintendo Switch 2 Edition physical games are Switch carts with an upgrade code


The physical video game collectors amongst you won’t be pleased to learn that the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition video games, which are enhanced Nintendo Switch games taking advantage of the more powerful Switch 2 hardware, will be an original Nintendo Switch game with a download code for the upgrade to the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. This means that you won’t get a Nintendo Switch 2 cartridge, just a regular cartridge with an in-box download code to upgrade to the enhanced version.

According to a Nintendo UK Support Rep, Switch 2 Editions of physical games like Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Metroid Prime 4 contain a download code for the upgrade pack along with a Switch 1 version cart of the game
