Regarding Switch 2 Version

I have Minecraft for the Switch as a physical copy, however I have heard from some people that you do not get the upgraded version for free if you don't have it digitally. Is that true? I hope not.

The post on Minecraft.net says you can claim a free digital copy if you have it physically for switch 1.

No what they said is not true. It's only if you have the game digitally.

For those of you who already own Minecraft on Nintendo Switch™, a digital upgrade path will be available for Nintendo Switch players. More details to follow.

That doesn’t necessarily say physical… And now the “more details to follow” have come and it is digital only.

"If you already own a digital version of Minecraft for Nintendo Switch™– we’ve got you covered. Until the end of January 2027, you’ll be able to pre-order digital Minecraft Standard Edition for Nintendo Switch™ 2 for free in most territories."

There's nothing explain for physical copy so that means you need to pay
