A third-party has potentially decided to buck the trend of being cheap, and are not putting their game on a Game-Key Card? 

From CDPR's official press release for the Switch 2 release of Cyberpunk:

Quote

CD PROJEKT RED proudly announces that one of its best-selling video games, Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, will join the launch day lineup for Nintendo Switch 2, as revealed in today’s Nintendo Direct.

Snapshot:

  • Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition contains the base game and spy-thriller expansion Phantom Liberty in one ultimate package, available for the first time ever to Nintendo players.
  • The game takes full advantage of Nintendo Switch 2’s features, including gyroscope aiming, motion controls, touch screen commands, and mouse capabilities.
  • Nintendo Switch 2 owners can purchase the game on launch day in a physical 64 GB game card or digital download from the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2.

Good stuff if that means what I think it means. If not, well, it's not good stuff. Duh. 

:p

Genuinely shocking.  Then again, they were one of the very few 3rd party publishers who actually bothered to put out a game on a 32GB card on Switch 1 that required no downloads to play; so it makes sense that their follow-up follows suit.

Given how bad their reputation (and this game's reputation) are though? They need all the good PR they can get.

I still suspect that this will be the rare exception though, and that almost all 3rd party games will be released on a Game Key Card, because 3rd party publishers are tight fisted bastards and they hate you.
