The first Wolfenstein game to be granted a completely uncensored release in Germany. Since Wolfenstein 3D (1992), which was declared as propaganda at the time and was therefore banned, this series had a notorious history regarding bans and censorship. The sequels Return to Castle Wolfenstein (2001) and Wolfenstein (2009) had all the violence and Nazi symbolism removed, but were eventually banned as well. Since Wolfenstein: The New Order (2014), the games were released uncensored for the first time, but only in regards to violence. In August 2018, regulations in the German law were revised, which allowed the video game ratings board USK to decide whether a game containing symbolism could receive a rating or not. In this case, the uncensored version as well as a censored version were granted a rating and released simultaneously. However, despite the official rating, some of the largest retail chains in Germany decided to sell only the censored version.

The physical copies of the Nintendo Switch version didn't include a game cartridge. Instead, they only contained a download code for the game, which led to heavy criticism.
