The switch is the switch but it’s crazy that the full game can fit on a tiny cartridge

Iirc isn’t it just a glorified authentication token with extra caching so you can download it locally and preload areas?
should someone introduce this guy to the 1TB microSD cards?

They optimized the hell out of it to fit on 64 gb and run on switch2, and that’s gonna sell one million copies lifetime.🤦 CDPR is radiating some good vibes since Cyberpunk launch.
Cool stickers

Not super crazy a switch cart can hold 64gb, this is ~2,000 GB.
I think you are showing your age posting this …lol
45 here and it’s not a surprise.
Times change brother.
yeah i’ve been playing the heck out of it. i got mine this past thursday. I bought an hdmi switcher too so I can switch between work and blasting fools with the click of my remote. lol
You can fit the whole game 5 or 6 times on a card 1/4 the size.
I like how Nintendo, technically, went back to cartridges. They just feel better. It just works!
Nanomachines, son
Nah, microSD’s
Neat and all, but my 7 year old manages to lose these things. They’re too small!
Question is, how does it look?
Pretty sure i heard something about the games not being on the cartridge anymore, the cartridge is just the key to downloading it from the net just like normal.
My full game with over 100 mods is just over 94Gb on PC. So I would think on Switch 2 they are using a 128gb card which is relatively cheap and common size nowadays. The Switch 2 uses MicroSD EX cards which are as fast as SSDs.
For a second I thought this was some cyberpunk themed futuristic wallet lmao
Cyberpunk game on a device made by a super anti consumer corporation.
I could be wrong but didn’t Nintendo say that the cartridges for the switch 2 won’t have the game on them anymore but only the permission code (or smth like that) to own the game and you still need to get it off the store (for “free” ofc)
Like I said I could be completely wrong, perhaps I also understood it wrong but I think I’ve read something along those lines
Switch 2 cartridges do not contain the full game, it’s a download key to access the game.
I kinda wish PC was using a similar cartridge system. I miss the day when you bought a game and got the full thing on a cartridge.
2025 !
Is the game actually on that or is it just the licence so you can download it?
Lol posts like this just make me scratch my head.
I’m not sure how this will go so we’ll see.
Cdpr should release the optimizations from the switch 2 for the previous gen consoles. They sorta got screwed with the launch and have missed out on so much.
Whatttt it comes with that dope sticker pack?? Jealous. Wish more games did that. Feel like it’s something kojima would’ve done.
Your cell phone is more advanced than the ship that enabled the moon landing. Technology is wild, choom.
it doesnt, you download most of it from the internet and the cart is usually a line of code so you can access the download
I still remember the days when cartridges were inferior to disc media for storage density. It comes full circle.
Just put the shard in your brain lil bro
Technically the whole game isnt on that. You download the game. That’s just an access key for your switch to be able to get the game from somewhere over the ethereal internet
Not crazy at all
You really made me regret picking it up digitally. I thought it would be fine because I already own a physical PS copy and I didn’t wanna wait for shipping but I really regret it now 😢
It’s really not crazy, just publisher have gotten so insanely cheap so their profit margins go up. Line MUST go up YoY or layoffs will occur regardless of profitability
