Civ VII on Switch one doesnt say anything about it being digital or pyhisical release.

There's a page that says 4.8gb of downloadable content but it's all so confusing that it's hard to tell how many versiosn there are..

New Switch 2 games now comes with a label saying if the game is a game key, or it has digital eshop only and not even the box itself...
For what it seems, C7 for Switch 1 is Vanilla only physical, and then all DLC must be bought on the eshop.

So my question is simple, will C7 for Switch 2 also be an hybrid Physical and digital download or will it be full physical and
playable outside the eshop? Which I have no intentions to use it and again, I won't buy a console game that is known to close down
its storefronts?

No one knows for sure yet, but according to this report the updated "Switch 2 Editions" of current games will be a (Switch 1 compatible?) game card and a download code for the digital upgrade:

So if you buy Civ VII for Switch today (or already own it), you will be able to purchase an upgrade to the updated Swich 2 Edition. The still-to-be-released boxed version of the Switch 2 Edtion will basically be the same, but with a free upgrade. At least that is the most recent information I am aware of.

Yeah, I read that too, and people are not liking it... no-one wants a collectable game behind a key-code...
