Digimon Story: Time Stranger will let owners of the current Switch release pick up a complimentary update when they play the game on Nintendo's next console. The patch delivers visual upgrades to bring the original Switch build up to the Switch 2 standard, and Nintendo Life notes the Switch 2 physical edition will be distributed as a Game‑Key Card.

  • Owners who buy the Switch version can download a free update when launching the game on a Switch 2, unlocking enhanced graphics.
  • The Switch 2 physical SKU will be issued as a Game‑Key Card rather than a traditional cartridge.
  • Bandai Namco previously did a similar upgrade path for Dragon Ball Z: Sparking! ZERO, providing a precedent for this approach.
  • The free update equalizes the visual presentation between the original Switch release and the native Switch 2 edition for players who upgrade consoles.
