A few practical details: the Switch 2 edition is a free upgrade for Switch owners who redeem the Switch key and then download the separate Switch 2 Upgrade Pack from the eShop to enable enhanced features like 120Hz mode; Team Cherry confirmed this arrangement ahead of launch. If you already own a Switch, you’ll use the eShop to buy/download Silksong; physical editions and cross-save behavior depend on the specific release/version, so check the eShop product page or Team Cherry’s official announcements for any region-specific notes.
