　　Private Division also confirmed that Outer Worlds for Switch will now ship on a physical cartridge and via digitally.

Additionally, the first Outer Worlds Switch screenshots seemingly leaked just ahead of this news.

　　The Outer Worlds for Switch is now expected to launch during Take-Two's fiscal year 2021. That means the title will launch during the April 1, 2020-March 31, 202 period.
