Nintendo confirms $90 price for full Breath of the Wild experience on Switch 2

One of the biggest games on the original Nintendo Switch was The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and while fans of the newly announced Switch 2 gritted their teeth at the price for the Switch 2 version of the game, those teeth are now undoubted brandished at the realization the DLC for the game isn't included within that initial purchase.

Nintendo will be selling the DLC for Breath of the Wild for an additional $20, which is on top of the game's higher $70 listing price. Speaking to IGN Nintendo has confirmed players after the DLC Expansion Pass will need to pay an additional $20 as a separate purchase, bringing the total to $90 for a game that originally released on the Wii U and specifically in 2017.

For those who already own a copy of Breath of the Wild, those users will still be able to play Breath of the Wild and its DLC with no additional costs. Moreover, players who already own a copy of Breath of the Wild and want the upgraded Switch 2 version will only need to pay $10, which will get them better framerates, higher resolutions, and HDR support. So, to summarize. If you don't own a copy of Breath of the Wild and intend to play it on the Switch 2 be prepared to fork out $70, and if you also want the DLC, add another $20 on top of that.
