It wasn’t too long ago that MIO: Memories in Orbit hit Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch digitally, but now a physical release has been revealed. According to retailers, the game will be out in boxed format on April 10, 2026.

There’ll only be a standard version available. However, we should note that the Nintendo Switch 2 version is a full cartridge, not a game-key card.

MIO: Memories in Orbit has been on the Nintendo eShop since the start of the month. Below is an official overview:

Awaken MIO, a nimble robot with extraordinary abilities, and unravel the mysteries of the Vessel, an enormous technological ark overgrown with lush vegetation and machines gone rogue.
Nobody knows why the Pearls, The Vessel’s AI caretakers, have ceased functioning. Forgotten by all, the Vessel faces imminent shutdown. Dive into its depths to revive its lost memories, as you unravel your true past and destiny, in this mesmerizing metroidvania.
