I think some could offer free patches* Hidden text: cannot be quoted. *
When you look at third party titles like Doom, Doom Eternal, and the Witcher 3, are these publishers going to want to offer free upgrades for these games that while impressive relative to the Switch hardware, were significantly compromised in order to make the transition? Or are they more likely to offer release these games as NSG games with PS4/Pro levels visuals? My guess is that this is indeed what most of them will do. You will be able to continue to redownload the Switch build of these games, but only the newer build will be available for sale going forward. This happens even on Steam where a publisher will delist the original version of a game and then put out the newer remastered version of the game for a higher price. If the original game is in your Steam library, you can still redownload it, but can no longer purchase the older and more often than not cheaper build of the game.
Some would rather opt to repackage deluxe versions with all the DLC and upgraded visuals as a new release on the new hardware.
Or both… if you’re going through the trouble to patch you might as well release a new package for those who haven’t bought at all yet…
I hope we get some patches for a bunch of them though. The Witcher, the dooms, and others I think would be great candidates
