Cyberpunk 2077 dev says putting the whole game on Nintendo Switch 2 cartridge was the “right thing to do”
Posted on 1 day ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
At least for the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, Cyberpunk 2077 is the only original third-party game that has everything on the cartridge. Many titles are opting to instead take advantage of game-key cards. That means you’re getting a cartridge, but you need to download all of the title’s data first before you can play it.
Jan Rosner, VP of business development at CD Projekt Red, has now spoken about the decision to have the entire Cyberpunk 2077 experience on the Nintendo Switch 2 cartridge. This follows the company’s approach with The Witcher 3 on Switch 1, which was also a full physical release.

List of all Nintendo Switch 2 games with a game-key card release
Posted on 3 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
As we get closer to the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, we’re putting together a complete list of Nintendo Switch 2 games with a game-key card release.
This is a new approach to physical media, which has seen a mixed reaction. In a way, it’s a hybrid between a true physical release and a download code. Each box comes with a cartridge, but there’s nothing really included. Rather than coming with all content, you’ll need to download the game first. After that you don’t need to connect online, but you need to insert the card each time you play.

A couple months back, we wrote a big list of games that would benefit from performance patches on Nintendo Switch 2. That was before we knew exactly how Switch 2 Editions worked, though – and it was also before we knew Switch 2 Editions existed at all. Right now, six first and second-party Nintendo games have Switch 2 Editions: Metroid Prime 4, Pokemon Legends Z-A, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Zelda Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, and Super Mario Party Jamboree. These upgrades are all paid, and then several more games are getting free performance patches on Switch 2. Today, we’re going over existing Switch games that aren’t on either of these lists that could really use the performance or resolution boost.
