What the fuck?! You have to PAY to play pre-owned games?

[u/Sea_Art3391 → u/NickSchultz]

You don't. You can pay to upgrade a few pre-owned games to have better graphics and some switch 2 exclusive functions (the Kirby game also includes a dlc), but otherwise you do not have to pay to play any pre-owned games on the switch 2.

[u/Satherov → u/NickSchultz]

Some games like botw or totk offer extra stuff for which you can get an addon, but I imagine you can still play the game without those

[u/FriendlyDrummers → u/Satherov]

Barely an add on tbh. But I guess I don't care since it's not necessary to get anyways

[u/dingusfett → u/FriendlyDrummers]

Kirby and Mario Party are better examples of them being expansions with new content that makes use of the new Switch 2 features

[u/JorgeMtzb → u/NickSchultz]

No, they are making switch 2 upgraded releases for some games (think ps5 vs ps4 of the same game) if you have the switch 1 version you can pay for just the upgrade rather than buy them. You can play all your switch 1 games for free, you only pay for the specific upgrades that gices new content better framerate etc

[u/Takoyama-san → u/JorgeMtzb]

imagine if you upgraded your PC then had to pay per-game to actually use said hardware. holy fuck. "better framerate" should come with the system.

[u/zCourge_iDX → u/Takoyama-san]

Stop spreading misinformation. The upgrade is for added features, not increased performance.

[u/JorgeMtzb → u/Takoyama-san]

Better performance is inherent to more power of the console and sny game will run smoother, the upgrades include software performance updates themselves to use the better hardware more than the game otherwise would

Purely for downloaded games from the gamepass iirc.
