Private Division officially revealed that The Outer Worlds would launch on Nintendo Switch as a code in a box.
Well, we have a good yet unfortunate update on the situation .
To clarify, the team at Virtuos is ok, but their office has remained closed during this time. We're working with the team to determine an updated development timeline, and will share more regarding a new launch date shortly.

Lets get physical
For starters, the game’s developers seem to have changed their decision – and will now be releasing the game as an actual physical cartridge instead!
However, the actual release of the Switch port will now see a delay, due to the porting team at Virtuos closing their office to wait out the recent Wuhan Coronavirus outbreak. As such, the game will not be meeting its original 6 March 2020 release date.
