Game-Key Cards

Game-key cards are different from regular game cards because they don’t contain the full game data. Instead, the game-key card is your 'key' to downloading the full game to your console via the internet.

After it’s downloaded, you can play the game by inserting the game-key card into your console and starting it up as normal.

To download the game, an internet connection is required.

How it works

Step 1: Insert the game-key card into the console.

Step 2: Download the game.

The game itself isn't included on the game-key card, so you’ll have to download it before you can play.

When you insert the game-key card, further instructions will be displayed on the HOME Menu. Please follow the instructions and download the game.

Please note: to download the game, you must have enough free space in your Nintendo Switch 2 system memory or microSD Express card. The amount of free space required is indicated on the game-key card packaging.

Step 3: Play the game.

Once the game is downloaded, you’re ready to play!

An internet connection is only required when you launch the game for the first time. After this, the game can be started even without an internet connection. However, like regular physical software, the game-key card must be inserted into the console in order to play the game.

If you insert a game-key card into another Nintendo Switch 2, the game can also be played on that console by following the above steps.
