Questions people ask
Which Switch 2 games work offline?
95 of the 107 Switch 2 physical games we track play without internet: 49 straight from the cartridge, and 46 after a one-time download.
Do Game-Key Card games work offline?
Most do after the first download, as long as the card is in the console. The download itself needs internet, so you can't play a new Game-Key Card game somewhere with no connection.
