"Resident Evil 9" will be launched on Switch 2 on February 27, 2026, supporting both physical and digital versions. Unfortunately, the physical version will be in the form of a key card.Capcom explained that this was due to a sales strategy, but we recently learned that this decision apparently has nothing to do with the game's capacity.

According to Nintendo’s official website, the Switch 2 version of “Resident Evil 9” has a capacity of 29.3GB and sells for $70.The 29GB capacity is far lower than the 64GB limit of the Switch 2 cartridge, so this game can be placed on a traditional game cartridge.Is Capcom doing this to save money?

Still need to be online for the entire game

The physical version of "Resident Evil 9" for Switch 2 uses a key card, which has caused strong dissatisfaction among foreign players.Players said that instead of buying a $70 key card, they would rather choose the PS5 version.
