Super Rare Games has partnered with Color Gray Games and Playstack to bring The Golden Idol Saga to Nintendo Switch in physical form on August 27, 2026. The cartridge release will contain the full Golden Idol narrative arc, giving players the complete experience in a tangible format rather than solely through digital storefronts.

Super Rare Games has built its business model around manufacturing physical versions of digitally-launched games, giving collectors and players who prefer ownership a chance to own these titles permanently.
- Super Rare Games is handling the physical production with Color Gray Games and Playstack involved in the partnership, arriving August 2026.
- The cartridge includes the complete Golden Idol story in one package rather than as separate releases.
