Yesterday CD PROJEKT GROUP published a presentation for its H1 2025 Earnings.

One of the slides shows copies sold in June 2025 on Nintendo Switch 2, 75.4% were physical copies and 24.6% digital.

Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the few third party titles that offer the full game in a physical cartridge.

No. You're probably thinking of "game key cards", which don't actually contain the game, but not all Switch 2 games come on those. Cyberpunk is on a proper game cart, which does contain the full game.

Thanks for the taking the time to inform me.

Also, for those who were not aware: some Switch 1 physical cartridges also did the “just a key card” thing. It’s not new, it’s just what Nintendo recommends for games that are too massive to fit on a cartridge and the publisher doesn’t want to pay the cost of manufacturing that much ROM into them; it’s a lot more now that Switch 2 runs actual modern AAA titles at all (IMHO it should still be zero - but this is a big part of the reason we got here)
