Dev says Switch 2’s physical Game Cards were too slow for Star Wars Outlaws port

According to the news article, a developer has stated that the physical Game Cards for the Nintendo Switch 2 have significantly slower data transfer speeds compared to downloaded games. This limitation posed a challenge when porting the upcoming game "Star Wars Outlaws" to the new console. The article suggests that the slower speeds of the Switch 2's physical Game Cards could be a potential issue for developers, as larger and more complex games may struggle to fit comfortably on the cartridges. This could lead to developers opting for digital-only releases or having to compromise on the game's content to fit within the physical medium's constraints. The article does not provide further details on the specific data transfer speeds or the technical differences between the Switch 2's Game Cards and downloaded games. However, it highlights the importance of balancing physical and digital game delivery options to ensure a smooth and seamless gaming experience for players on the new Nintendo console.
