Nintendo introduces Virtual Game Cards on the Nintendo Switch to address the issue of digital game purchases not being easily transferable between consoles like physical game cartridges.
These Virtual Game Cards will convert digital games purchased on the Switch into virtual game cartridges. Players will need to download the game cartridge before playing. These virtual game cartridges can be moved and stored on another Switch console through a pairing process.
Additionally, Virtual Game Cards feature a borrowing system, allowing family members within a Nintendo Account Family to borrow game cartridges. Each borrowing session lasts for 14 days (unless returned earlier).
The Virtual Game Cards system will be available on the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, and Nintendo Switch OLED by the end of April through a software update.
TLDR: Nintendo introduces Virtual Game Cards on the Nintendo Switch for easy transfer and borrowing of digital games among family members.
