With the Nintendo Switch 2 offering 256GB of internal storage, understanding the download sizes for its games is crucial, especially if you’re considering expanding your storage. Keep that in mind since a portion of the internal storage is used by the system itself.
You should know that the Nintendo Switch 2 only supports a new kind of expandable storage known as microSD Express, which provides faster data read/write speeds. At its launch, you’ll find two trusted brands, Samsung and SanDisk, offering licensed microSD Express cards specifically for this new console. These have been checked for compatibility, making them the go-to options when you need more space.
Thanks to the efforts of MondoMega, who compiled all this data straight from Australia’s Nintendo eShop, here’s a comprehensive list of download sizes for games available in the launch window for the Nintendo Switch 2.
