Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Around the end of last year, we started to see Switch games that required an extra download for their physical version. That means even if you bought the title on a cartridge, you still needed to grab extra data in order to play or have the full experience.
With Diablo III – Eternal Collection on Switch, this is something you won’t have to worry about. Blizzard has confirmed that all of the data and content will be included on the cartridge – no extra data required. This was somewhat expected after we saw the game’s boxart, which didn’t include any sort of notice about an additional download. Still, the confirmation is good to have.
