So, yesterday was the hottest day of the year here. I had Zelda delivered and wasn't able to pick it up until this morning (it was my mailbox in the 95+ heat for almost 24 hours)

Will heat like that hurt Switch games for that amount of time?

Very unlikely. If it was in a paper package and in its case, the most damage it would do would be the mailbox getting scratched. As long as your mailbox wasn’t made of glass, I think you’re fine

@iyiyi I’d let it rest for a few hours before putting the cartridge in. Then it should be fine.

Heigh Ho Heigh Ho. It’s off to work (from home) I go.

Thanks guys! I tend to get overly paranoid about little things like this haha

So long as the game card isn't warped from the prolonged heat exposure, the game should be fine.

The Switch gets pretty warm itself so I wouldn't worry too much.
