Orbitals, Switch 2's Co-Op Exclusive, Is Getting a Physical Release

Orbitals, the co-op exclusive launched alongside Nintendo Switch 2, is getting a proper physical edition — good news for collectors who prefer a cartridge on the shelf over a digital download.

Details in the source are thin, but the announcement confirms a physical release is coming for the game, which launched as a Switch 2 exclusive built around local and online co-op play.

Orbitals drew attention at launch as one of the few Switch 2 titles designed specifically around cooperative multiplayer, making it a natural fit for couch co-op sessions that the Switch platform has always leaned into. Physical releases for smaller or mid-tier titles have become less common as publishers shift toward digital-only, so this one stands out.

No release date or pricing for the physical edition was confirmed in the announcement.
