Overwatch Switch Physical Release Only Includes A Digital Code

Overwatch is almost here for the Nintendo Switch. The popular hero shooter was developed in just over a year for Nintendo’s system, and it’s sure to bring a lot of fun to Nintendo players. But if you were hoping to get a copy of the game on a cart, well, you’re going to be a tad disappointed.

As you can see from the front of the box (such as the Amazon listing through here) it lists that there is no game card included pretty boldly. People have asked publisher Blizzard for confirmation and yes, it seems that the physical release will be one that has a digital code in a box. It does, however, include 3 months of NSO, so there’s that I guess. And maybe you just love having a copy of something on your shelf as a collector. Nothing wrong with that.

Overwatch releases for Nintendo Switch on October 15th, which will coincide with a special Halloween event.
