Ubisoft’s Snowdrop engine dev explains why Star Wars Outlaws on Nintendo Switch 2 is a game-key card
Posted on 1 week ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Like many games, Star Wars Outlaws’ physical release on Nintendo Switch is a game-key card. But now we get to hear directly from a developer about why that ended up happening.
Rob Bantin, the audio architect for Ubisoft’s Snowdrop engine, recently spoke about the situation on social media.

In this case I think our leadership made the right call.”
