Developed with a passion for classic arcade rally gameplay, the title is being brought to retail shelves by Meridiem, who revealed that the physical edition will be available starting December 4, 2025.

This move marks an exciting milestone for fans eager to own a tangible copy of the game, further cementing Nintendo Switch’s reputation as a haven for both digital and physical collector releases.

The game’s attention to driving skill and high-speed maneuvering pays homage to the golden era of rally arcade gaming, providing players with an authentic yet thrilling experience. The car roster is another highlight, featuring a selection of rally vehicles inspired by legendary models from the past.

Each car comes with its own unique handling characteristics, ensuring that no two races feel the same.

Multiplayer competition is also at the forefront, as players can race against others worldwide and strive to climb the global leaderboards.

In addition to head-to-head competition, an achievement system offers additional challenges to keep players engaged. Meridiem’s partnership as the physical distributor adds to their growing portfolio of notable Nintendo Switch releases.

Pre-orders for the Old School Rally physical edition will open soon, with further announcements expected via official Nintendo channels and the Nintendo eShop. With its nostalgic style, competitive features, and the allure of a physical special edition, Old School Rally is positioned to be a standout title in the crowded landscape of Switch racing games when it launches on December 4, 2025.
