Game On: Latest in Gaming News, Reviews & Industry Buzz

Key takeaways
  • Beginning in May 2026, new Nintendo-published digital titles exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2 will have MSRPs different from physical versions.
  • Yoshi and the Mysterious Book priced $59.99 digital and $69.99 physical; releases May 21 for the Nintendo Switch 2.
  • Nintendo says the change reflects production and distribution costs and offers players more purchase choice.
  • Retail partners set their own prices for physical and digital games, so final pricing may vary by retailer and title.
  • Nintendo emphasizes games deliver the same experience whether packaged or digital despite pricing differences.

Update:

In a statement sent to IGN, Nintendo said “the cost of physical games is not going up.”

Nintendo continued, “This means that when Nintendo sells digital versions of Nintendo published games exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2 to consumers in the U.S., those prices will have an MSRP that is lower than their physical counterparts.

“Retail partners set their own prices for physical and digital games, and pricing for each title may vary.”


Original article:

Nintendo has announced that starting in May Nintendo published Switch 2 games will have different manufacturer’s suggested retail price between physical and digital versions.

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, which releases May 21 for the Switch 2, will be priced at $59.99 for the digital edition and $69.99 for the physical edition.

“Beginning in May 2026, and starting with preorders for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, new Nintendo published digital titles exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2 will have an MSRP that is different from physical versions,” reads the statement from Nintendo.

“Nintendo games offer the same experiences whether in packaged or digital format, and this change simply reflects the different costs associated with producing and distributing each format and offers players more choice in how they can buy and play Nintendo games.

“As always, retail partners set their own prices for physical and digital games, and pricing for each title may vary.”
