The Outer Worlds has a release date for Nintendo Switch… but not everyone is happy

by

If you’ve been holding out for a portable version of last year’s excellent Obsidian RPG, The Outer Worlds , then we finally have a release date for you. 

Publisher Private Division has announced that the Nintendo Switch version will go on sale on Friday March 6. “Get ready to play the award-winning RPG on-the-go soon,” the company tweeted.

You’d expect this to be a source of great celebration, but the box art has upset quite a few fans thanks to seven little words: “full game download – game card not included.” Whether this is an exercise in cost saving, or the game was too big to fit on a cartridge is unclear, but the result is the same: collectors are deeply unhappy.

“That’s $60 I won’t have to worry about spending this March,” tweeted one. “Come back when you have a proper physical release.”
