Independent outlets reiterate that the physical Switch 2 release is on cartridge (not a code-in-a-box) and cite multiple sources confirming the full game will be on the cartridge, including retailer and media briefings.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on August 11, 2026 — and it will ship on a real game cartridge, not a code stuffed in a box. Nintendo Life confirmed the physical edition alongside the digital launch, with pre-orders already live on the Nintendo eShop in Standard ($49.99) and Deluxe ($59.99) versions.
The release marks the first time an Elder Scrolls IV title has appeared on a Nintendo platform. Bethesda and co-developer Virtuos are bringing the full game — including the Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine expansions — to Switch 2, nearly a year after the remaster launched on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC in April 2025.
