2K has several ports planned for release on Switch this month, including BioShock: The Collection. A physical version is planned, but you won’t be getting everything on the cartridge. 2K’s store mentions that there will be a download of at least 31GB.
BioShock: The Collection should come on a 16GB cartridge. It includes the opening acts of BioShock Remastered, BioShock 2 Remastered, and BioShock Infinite: The Complete Edition. The extra download involves later game contents and add-ons.
Switch owners can get their hands on BioShock: The Collection starting May 29.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Metal Max Xeno: Reborn is experiencing a second delay. Originally, the game was planned for March 26 in Japan. It was later moved back to July 9. That date won’t be met either, with Kadokawa Games today announcing that the game has been delayed to September 10.
The news was shared today as part of a 29th anniversary live stream for the series. Like many games, Metal Max Xeno: Reborn appears to have been impacted by the coronavirus.
Here’s the full live stream showcasing gameplay:
Ivo Gerscovich, chief brand officer for Sonic Studio at SEGA of America, recently held a Reddit AMA. Gerscovich addressed several questions from fans regarding the IP’s future and more.
One important note concerns the status of Sonic Boom. The days of the Wii U and 3DS games are long gone, though a show had been airing through the end of 2017. With a lack of news over the past couple of years, it’s unsurprising that the show appears to be over. Gerscovich said “there are no plans for a new Sonic Boom specific TV series or game.” Some fans believe that the comment leaves the door open to more episodes in the future, but executive producer Bill Freiberger has been putting out tweets indicating that the show is finished.
Elsewhere in the AMA, Gerscovich was asked about the future of the Sonic brand. Gerscovich said SEGA will be focusing on “respecting the past while looking to evolve the brand and its characters and storylines for the future across all content, products, and platforms.” He also stressed the importance of releasing “high quality content”.
Here’s a full roundup of the important bits from the AMA:
