The Oregon Trail Switch physical release on the way

The Oregon Trail, which is already on Switch digitally, is now getting a physical release. That’s based on new retailer listings, which recently went up on various websites.

You’ll get more than just the cartridge here. Buyers will be given a reversible cover sheet, three art cards, and Cowboys and Critters DLC as bonuses.

The Oregon Trail has been on Switch since the end of 2022, but only as a digital download. Read more about it below.

The Oregon Trail by Gameloft—Experience The Oregon Trail™ like never before. A modern twist on the trials and tribulations of the road to Oregon, this official successor to the global phenomenon will immerse players in exhilarating journeys ranging from the historically accurate to the totally extreme. Players will pick their traveling party, stock the wagon with supplies, and embark on an adventure filled with tough choices, new dangers, and unexpected situations. Surviving blizzards, broken limbs, snakebites, exhaustion, starvation, and the dreaded dysentery is no small feat; all the while navigating an untamed frontier to get your party to their new life in Oregon before the winter. Track down a missing party in the aftermath of a fierce blizzard, transport volatile gunpowder through blistering desert heat, compete in challenging hunting mini-games, and meet a broad cast of historic figures. With procedurally selected random events where players’ choices affect their party and future game events, there’s always a new adventure on the horizon every time you play.
