- Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is the only Bethesda game coming to Nintendo Switch 2 that will have a Game Card in the physical edition
- Skyrim: Anniversary Edition and Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition will only offer codes in their boxes
- Oblivion Remastered will also receive a "physical code-in-box edition planned for a later date"
Bethesda has confirmed that only one of its games coming to Nintendo Switch 2 will offer a Game Card in its physical editions.
During the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase yesterday, it was announced that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, and Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition are all coming to the Switch 2 this year.
Now, Bethesda has confirmed that only Indiana Jones will have a proper Game Card cartridge in its physical edition. Oblivion Remastered and Fallout 4 will only have digital download codes in their boxes.
The studio shared the finer details in a launch roadmap blog post. The official X / Twitter account also shared its own post, writing, "And yes, the game is on Game Card", instead of one of the controversial Game-Key Cards.
Starting with Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition, which comes with the base game and all six expansion packs, the digital edition launches on February 24, followed by the "physical code-in-box edition" on April 28.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will launch on May 12, and pre-orders are now available "for the physical game card at retail and digitally via the Nintendo eShop". The game's downloadable content (DLC), The Order of Giants, will also be available to download separately on that date.
Oblivion Remastered, which is slated to launch sometime this year, will also be released digitally, "with a physical code-in-box edition planned for a later date".
It also confirmed that The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Anniversary Edition, which was released digitally last December, will get a physical code-in-box release on April 28.
