Game-keys cards have been pretty controversial since the Nintendo Switch 2 dropped. They're regular-looking carts that you get when buying a physical copy, but they don't actually contain the full game data. It's essentially a glorified download code in a box. But one analyst reckons that Cyberpunk 2077 being the only major third-party game to launch in a real cartridge didn't help its sales that much.
In case you missed it, Cyberpunk 2077 was the best-selling third-party Switch 2 game in the US. It's also, maybe coincidentally, the only major non-Nintendo game to avoid going the game-key card route. The entire 64gb game is on the Switch 2 cartridge if you pick it up physically - a decision CD Projekt Red calls the "right thing to do."
