This week on Expansion Pass, Edward Varnell and Corey Dirrig discuss how Nintendo may soon stand alone as the biggest supporter of physical game releases. While the Switch 2 has introduced Game-Key Cards, Nintendo continues to release its own first-party titles on full cartridges, and physical sales remain a significant part of its business. If PlayStation and Xbox fully embrace an all-digital future, Nintendo could carve out a unique advantage by continuing to offer collectible, shareable, and preservable physical games for fans who still value owning their purchases.Join our Communities:Join the Boss Rush Network Community Discord.
