As we eagerly await the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 console, set to come with 256GB of internal storage, it’s crucial to consider the download sizes of upcoming games. Keep in mind, part of that storage is allocated for system use, so if you’re an avid gamer, you might need to think about expanding it.
The Nintendo Switch 2 introduces a new standard for expandable storage—microSD Express—which means faster data reading and writing. At launch, Samsung and SanDisk will be the two brands offering microSD Express cards specifically licensed for the Nintendo Switch 2. These have been tested for compatibility with this new console, making them reliable choices for those looking to upgrade their storage.
Thanks to MondoMega’s efforts to gather this comprehensive data from the Nintendo eShop in Australia, here’s a handy list of download sizes for the Nintendo Switch 2 games that will be available during its launch.
