But...why?

Well, this is certainly a strange promotion. Nintendo of Europe is offering free SteelBooks for those that pre-order Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield from the European eShop. SteelBooks' main function is being a cartridge carrying case, so it's interesting that it is being offered for the digital version of the games. A Zacian SteelBook will be received for Pokémon Sword, and a Zamazenta SteelBook for Pokémon Shield.

Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield is now available for preload in Europe, and launches for Nintendo Switch on November 15th, 2019!
