After the Nintendo Partner Direct, fans are upset to learn that Octopath Traveler 0 for Switch 2 will only be available as a Game-Key Card, not a physical cartridge. This means players get just a download code, raising concerns over digital ownership and game preservation. Adding to the frustration, Square Enix won’t allow upgrades from the Switch 1 version, leaving gamers with limited options. The move has reignited discussions about the impact of Game-Key Cards on the gaming landscape.
