LEGO City Undercover on Switch has entire game on cart, no internet or download needed

Earlier this week concerns were raised about the Switch version of LEGO City Undercover after the game’s packaging was found with some peculiar information on it. The cover states that up to 13GB of storage would be required for a ‘game download’, also the game would require an internet connection.

Theories about the game having a small cartridge and a download component to run the game ran wild, it was all very confusing.

Luckily for us it appears to all be an error, Warner Bros. has told IGN in a statement that the cover is just a simple mistake and says that if you buy LEGO City Undercover in stores you’ll be “getting the complete game, and do not need to download additional content to enjoy the full experience”.

Here’s the entire statement;

The information is listed incorrectly on the packaging of LEGO City Undercover for Nintendo Switch. Players who purchase a physical copy of LEGO City Undercover on Nintendo Switch at retail are getting the complete game, and do not need to download additional content to enjoy the full experience. An internet connection is not required to play the game. The only internet connection suggested is to download the typical content update patch.

The only thing you will have to download is a small patch, like most games have at launch. It won’t stop you from playing the game as we all feared. The download size of the game on the eShop is listed at 8.2GB.

Unfortunately we still having to wait a week for the game here in Australia, be sure to check out our bargain guide to get the cheapest price.
