To compensate, those who own a copy will receive a complementary Star Wars game for the handheld system, or a Steam copy of KOTOR 2.

We’d like to thank everyone for their continued support by providing a complimentary video game key to players that purchased Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords on Nintendo Switch before this announcement. Players may pick a replacement key from the following list:
