The Switch 2 released June 5th, 2025 to lots of hype…and also concern for some physical collectors. Games releasing on the new platform can either exist fully in-cartridge (aka. Game Card) or as a Game Key Card. Despite the fact a Game Key card behaves in many ways like a physical and comes with several benefits, many people still do not consider them truly physical and take umbrage with this format.
Many look to smaller publishers that are known for video game preservation and honoring the physical legacy of video games to see what they will do for Switch 2 games. One renowned publisher, Limited Run Games, had provided their stance early last year.
