The Switch 2 is offering developers an alternative method to physically distribute their games, but this may not bring an end to “code-in-a-box” releases.
As pointed out on social platforms, a Split Fiction physical listing for Switch 2 has emerged on websites like Best Buy, which includes a note stating that it is a complete game download without a game card included.
If this information is correct, it could represent the first game announced as a “code-in-a-box” release for the Switch 2.
The distinction between these download code releases and the new game-key cards lies in the requirement to redeem codes on an account, whereas the new game-key cards are not linked to any particular Nintendo account.
Recent listings for Switch 2 indicate that Split Fiction’s storage requirement will be approximately 71 GB.
Should we receive any updates about this specific physical release locally, we will inform you.
