Diablo III: Eternal Collection physical will not require a download | Nintendo Switch News | NintendoReporters

 [![Diablo III: Eternal Collection physical will not require a download](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/diablo-iii-eternal-collection-physical-will-not-require-a-download.jpeg "Diablo III: Eternal Collection physical will not require a download")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/diablo-iii-eternal-collection-physical-will-not-require-a-download.jpeg)Diablo III: Eternal Collection will be getting a physical release, that was not a big surprise when the game got announced. Because well simply Blizzard does not do things small.

## [](#downloads)Downloads

But what we have seen as a new development over time is the fact that the bigger games require an additional download on Nintendo Switch.

Blizzard has confirmed that “all of the content fits on a cartridge so you can buy a physical copy without requiring any additional downloads”.

In our book that is a good thing, because that means that Blizzard probably opted for the bigger cart option. OR that compression for Nintendo Switch was just down right insane. Either way Diablo III: Eternal Collection is slated to release on the Nintendo Switch later this year, be ready for it!
