Have you ever wondered if your physical Nintendo Switch games can get updates like the digital ones do? Well, you’re not alone!

Let’s dive into whether those game cartridges sitting on your shelf can keep up with the latest features and fixes.

Yes, They Can Update!

Here’s the simple answer: Yes, physical Nintendo Switch games can definitely get updates! Just like digital games, the physical versions can also receive patches and updates over the internet.

When developers release a new patch or update for a game, it doesn’t matter if you own the game digitally or physically. As long as your Switch is connected to the internet, it can download these updates directly to the console. This ensures that all gamers have the same great experience, with the latest improvements and additional content.
