It was announced today that Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition, Oblivion Remastered, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle are coming to Switch 2, but only one of them is getting a physical game cartridge.
The news was announced during today’s Nintendo Direct, with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle studio MachineGames and publisher Bethesda following up on Twitter with a self-satisfied confirmation that “the game is on Game Card” – a weird way to say it’ll be an actual physical release. That game, along with the Order of Giants DLC, launches May 12 on Switch 2, both physically and digitally.
And yes, the game is on Game Card.#IndianaJones https://t.co/jJ0cTDKLLLFebruary 5, 2026
Things aren’t as straightforward for the Switch 2 versions of Fallout 4 and Oblivion Remastered. In a news release, Bethesda says Oblivion Remastered is getting a digital release on Switch 2 “later this year” and a “code-in-box” physical edition is “planned for a later date.” So, not even a game-key card. Dang.
As for Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition, which includes six official DLCs and tons of player-made Creation Club content, that’s coming to Switch 2 on February 28 as a digital release, with another code-in-box launch happening on April 28.
It’s completely unclear why Indiana Jones is the only game getting a proper physical launch on Switch 2, while the code-in-box physical versions of Fallout 4 and Oblivion Remastered are big letdowns for physical media diehards. At least with the controversial game-key cards, you have an actual cartridge to hold onto and potentially trade or resell – but with just a code to download and nothing else, I can’t see how you’re any better off than going full-on digital, unless you just really want a case for your digital code.
Bethesda fans were also disappointed earlier this week when the Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas remasters they were hoping for didn’t get announced. Though, at least with that, we have some reliable reporting that claims the Fallout 3 remaster is still in active development.
Here are some more upcoming Switch 2 games to keep on your radar.
