Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Switch is SEGA’s officially licensed arcade sports game, Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 – The Official Video Game, with 18 events, custom athletes and local or online competition. Please note: this European PAL box (PEGI) is a Code in a Box edition, so inside you get a download code for the Nintendo eShop, not a game cartridge. You redeem the code on your Nintendo Account and download the game to your console before playing.

18 Olympic Events in Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Switch
SEGA lists 18 arcade-style events: 100m, 4 x 100m relay, 110m hurdles, long jump, hammer throw, 100m freestyle, 200m individual medley, boxing, judo, tennis, table tennis, basketball, football, rugby sevens, baseball, beach volleyball, sport climbing and BMX. Track and field, swimming, combat sports, racket sports and team games sit side by side, so a single session can jump from a sprint to a judo bout to a game of beach volleyball.
Controls are designed to be simple, with timing-based technical moves that reward practice, which keeps the game approachable for casual players while still giving competitive players something to master.
Create Your Own Athlete
Instead of picking real athletes, Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Switch lets you build your own. SEGA describes a robust avatar creation system where you shape your athlete’s look and skills and dress them in costumes; Nintendo’s listing mentions themes such as pirate, astronaut and cowboy. Creations can be shared with friends through an Avatar Creation Code, so a group can field a matching team.
Modes and Players
SEGA’s official site lists couch co-op with friends and family, online multiplayer for 2 to 8 players and a Ranked mode. SEGA’s Japanese site adds detail on how the modes are organised: an Olympic Games mode for 1 to 2 players on one console, an online Ranked mode where events rotate on a timetable, and a Training mode with three CPU difficulty levels and personal record tracking.
Online play in Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Switch requires a Nintendo Switch Online membership and an internet connection. SEGA does not publish the current status of the online services on its official page, so the safest way to see this game is as a local party and single-player package.
Official Tokyo 2020 Venues
As an officially licensed product, Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Switch recreates real Tokyo 2020 locations. SEGA’s Japanese site names the Olympic Stadium and the Tokyo Aquatics Centre among them, giving events a sense of place that unlicensed sports collections cannot match.
Code in a Box: How Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Switch Is Installed
Because this edition contains a download code, you need an internet connection, a Nintendo Account linked to the Nintendo eShop and enough free storage on the console or a microSD card. SEGA does not publish the download size for this version, so make sure you have space before redeeming. Once the code is used it is tied to that Nintendo Account and cannot be resold or moved to another account the way a cartridge can.
Who This Is Not For
Players without internet access or a Nintendo Account: the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Switch box holds a download code, not a cartridge, so the game cannot be installed offline. Anyone with a full console storage: you will need free space on the Switch or a microSD card. Collectors who want a physical cartridge or plan to resell the game later: a redeemed code stays on one Nintendo Account. Players buying mainly for online ranked play: SEGA does not publish the current status of the online services. SEGA’s European site shows a PEGI 12 rating for the game, and local play on one console is limited to 2 players.
