Split Fiction

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.

April 2: The recently-released Split Fiction has been confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2. It will be available at launch.

Split Fiction, a co-op adventure game, just debuted not too long ago to a strong reception. The Nintendo Switch 2 version will take advantage of GameShare and GameChat. With GameShare, you can play locally with just one copy of the game with another player on their Nintendo Switch 2, even if they don’t own the title. GameChat will let players share live video and voice chat from their console system while playing Split Fiction together.
