## Nintendo confirms no plans to stop physical games
Nintendo says it has no plans to abandon physical games despite industry shift toward digital releases.

> Look, historically, we’ve been very agnostic, right? We go off of what the consumer prefers and take that into account very heavily
## Switch 2 supports physical and digital games
Nintendo’s Switch 2 platform includes both physical cartridges and digital downloads for players to choose.

> We also have a platform just launched. We’re barely just over a year into NS2. And it’s got both, you know, digital, but it also has physical, that capability.
## Nintendo will keep physical games for fans
Nintendo’s vice president Bill van Zyll says fans’ preferences mean physical games will stay available.

> So, there’s no plans to ditch physical. We know how much the fans like it as well. So, yeah, our position has been to be agnostic.
## Key takeaway

Nintendo has no plans to stop selling physical games despite industry shift to digital, as Switch 2 supports both formats.
