Four Games That Will Max Out Your Switch 2’s Built-In Storage

Nintendo’s got this new thing going on, right? The Switch 2. They’ve just started taking pre-orders for games and, right alongside, the consoles themselves. So naturally, my first move is to dive into the game file sizes. Not sure why that’s always where I start, but hey, habits. Anyway — some of these sizes are wild! Closer to what you’d see on a beefy gaming PC than the old Switch. Seriously, who saw that coming?

I mean, it makes sense, kinda. This new console’s supposed to handle games at 1080p, maybe even more, and keep up with those super-fast frame rates. The catch? You load up a few top-tier games, and bam, your 256 GB storage is gasping for air. Let’s peek at the upcoming game sizes. Spoiler: they’re hefty.

Add ’em all up, and you’re over 300 GB. So unless you wanna juggle your games like a circus act, you’re gonna need a microSD Express card. Fast and, yeah, a little pricey — but apparently they’re the future or something. And one awkward twist, your old microSD cards? Nope, not gonna work with this new bad boy. Well, except for maybe checking out those clips you saved on the original Switch.

It’s weird, right? Like, buying storage for a console we haven’t even seen yet! But trust me, snag that huge microSD Express card now. You’ll thank yourself later when you’re knee-deep in Switch 2 awesomeness, without the headache of storage wars.
