wrote on 23 May 2025, 06:11 last edited by prodigalfrog@slrpnk.netAFAIK, most PS3 (and even PS4) / Xbox 360 games will play and function with just the disc, an internet connection will just let them download updates to the game.
It was PS5 and Xbox One where the discs became glorified physical download codes, and did not actually contain the entire game.

Check out the new pokemon snap which isn't that dev. It is legit a 9/10 game. I play it a ton.

As you can see, the number of Switch 2 titles not on Game-Key Cards is very slim.
The only games that will be fully available on the cartridge are the ones explicitly singled out. There are 10. How is that significant?
