Code-in-box games still seem to happening on Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 1 week ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
With Nintendo Switch 2 introducing game-key cards, there was the hope that code-in-box releases – which were somewhat common on Switch 1 – would no longer be happening. However, that doesn’t appear to be the case.
Many third-party Nintendo Switch 2 titles at launch will be game-key cards. This means that you’re getting a cartridge, but as there’s no data, you still need to download everything from the internet. It’s still much better than a code-in-box release, which doesn’t let you give the copy to a friend or sell it later on.
