Bethesda officially confirms that Wolfenstein: Youngblood’s physical version lacks a game cartridge

A few days ago, retailers started to update their listings for Wolfenstein: Youngblood on Switch. Disappointing collectors, it was discovered that the game apparently won’t come with a cartridge on Switch. These retailers indicated that only a digital download would be included inside.
Bethesda has now updated its FAQ for Wolfenstein: Youngblood, confirming the news. The title will only be available digitally and the physical version contains a digital download code without an actual cartridge.
GameStop says Wolfenstein: Youngblood won’t come with a cartridge

Wolfenstein: Youngblood will be sold at retailers, but not in the way you’d expect. GameStop’s listing for the title states that a cartridge isn’t included. Instead, the box apparently contains a download code.
We don’t have any reason to doubt GameStop, but this is something Bethesda hasn’t clearly stated in the past. Those hoping for a true physical release might be out of luck here. Unless GameStop is mistaken, Bethesda won’t be selling Wolfenstein: Youngblood in cartridge form.
Thanks to JPSWITCHMANIA for the tip.
