Sid Meier’s Civilization 7 launched earlier this year to mostly positive reviews due to its quality of life improvements and quick-burst campaigns. While it initially launched on consoles and PC, fans suspected that it might get a release on Nintendo Switch 2 as well at some point. Now that we have confirmation of the $70 Switch 2 version, we also now know that the physical edition of the game will only have a code in the box.
As reported by GameSpot, the physical edition of Civilization 7 on Nintendo Switch 2 doesn’t actually come with the game on a cartridge. Instead, players who purchase it will be greeted by a download code in the box, requiring players to download the entire game. It seems like the physical box is only meant for display purposes, which is a little disheartening for collectors hoping to build up their physical collection of Switch games.
“The award-winning strategy game franchise returns with a revolutionary new chapter. Sid Meier’s Civilization 7 empowers you to build the greatest empire the world has ever known! In Civilization 7, your strategic decisions shape the unique cultural lineage of your evolving empire. Rule as one of many legendary leaders from throughout history and steer the course of your story by choosing a new civilization to represent your empire in each Age of human advancement.”
