The Outer Worlds for Nintendo Switch Has Been Delayed

The Outer Worlds was supposed to come out in March for Nintendo Switch. The game has been delayed. Check out the details below.

The Outer Worlds for Nintendo Switch has been delayed.

The publisher announced on Twitter today that “We’re delaying @OuterWorlds on Nintendo Switch due to the coronavirus impacting the Virtuos team working on the port, to provide them enough time to finish development. We’ll now be releasing the physical version on cartridge. Once we have a new launch date, we’ll let you know!”

They added in a follow up tweet that: “To clarify, the team at Virtuos is ok, but their office has remained closed during this time. We’re working with the team to determine an updated development timeline, and will share more regarding a new launch date shortly.”

As of now, the game does not a release date. Hopefully it won’t be too long after March.

The plus side of the delay is that the game will now have a physical cartridge version. Previously, the game was going to be sold in stores but the box would contain a download code!

Its sad to see the game delayed, however I think its great that the game will get a physical cart. I’d love to own that!

Best of all, the team at Virtuos is ok.

What do you think of this delay? Are you happy that we’ll know be seeing a truly physical verison of The Outer Worlds for Nintendo Switch?
