Nintendo Switch 2 Game-Key Card Overview (en-americas-support.nintendo.com)

Game-key cards are different from regular game cards, because they don’t contain the full game data. Instead, the game-key card is your "key" to downloading the full game to your system via the internet.

Pay a premium for a physical copy of your game, and the cartridge may not contain the actual game. Only on Nintendo Switch 2.

Many Ubisoft games and Activision games on the Switch 1 were sold like this.
