Nintendo of America has announced Switch 2 exclusives will soon no longer cost the same price between their digital and physical versions.
In a March 25 news post, Nintendo explains, "Beginning in May 2026, and starting with preorders for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, new Nintendo published digital titles exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2 will have an MSRP that is different from physical versions." It blames this change on "the different costs associated with producing and distributing each format," though many Nintendo games have had different prices for their physical and digital copies for a while now in places like Japan and the UK.
