Limited Run is bringing Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Collection to Nintendo Switch 2 in physical form, starting at $49.99.
Pre-orders for both versions run from October 9 to November 15. The source does not give a final release date for the physical version itself, and it also does not make clear whether the game content differs from the existing collection.

What happened
Limited Run is handling the physical distribution of Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Collection for Nintendo Switch 2. That gives the Tomb Raider game a new physical release alongside the existing digital version. The announcement is about a new retail version for Switch 2, not a new game reveal or a completely new edition with extra content.
The Standard Edition costs $49.99 and includes a physical Game Card, a case, and an eight-page booklet. The more expensive Collector’s Edition costs $99.99 and includes the game plus a SteelCase, a Trinity cloth patch, a Collector’s Edition box, and a glowing replica of the Divine Source. The source explicitly lists these extras as part of the physical collector’s release.
According to the source, pre-orders open on October 9 and close on November 15. No separate launch date for the retail release is mentioned, and no year is given for the pre-order window. That means only the ordering period is confirmed, not when physical copies will actually ship.
The source also does not say whether the Switch 2 version differs from the existing 20 Year Collection. Based on the information provided, the only confirmed details are the physical distribution, the two editions, the prices, and the bonus items.

Background
Rise of the Tomb Raider launched in 2015 as the middle entry in Crystal Dynamics’ Survivor trilogy. The game was later expanded into the 20 Year Celebration edition, which earned an 88 Metascore on PS4. That version forms the basis for the collection now getting a physical release on Nintendo Switch 2.
The name “20 Year” originally referred to Tomb Raider’s 20th anniversary in 2016. In the source, that anniversary reference is used again as context for the collection, but no new content changes are mentioned for this physical Switch 2 release. The source sticks to confirming the physical distribution, the two editions, the prices, and the pre-order window.
The physical release is being handled by Limited Run, a company known for special retail and collector’s editions. In this case, it is offering a Standard Edition and a Collector’s Edition, with the pricier version mainly adding physical extras. The source specifically names the SteelCase, Trinity cloth patch, Collector’s Edition box, and glowing replica of the Divine Source as the standout items.
The provided information also mentions Aspyr and Crystal Dynamics in the broader Tomb Raider context. However, the source does not explain that any new content, campaign, or gameplay version has been added for this Switch 2 release. As a result, the core of the report remains limited to the physical re-release and its sales details.
