Overview

  • Nintendo eShop listings state a download of up to 90GB is required, which is roughly 34% of the Switch 2’s 256GB internal storage.
  • The physical release is a Game Key Card that functions as the license to play and must remain inserted during gameplay.
  • Reported cartridge capacity tops out around 64GB, so the full game will not fit on a traditional card and many third-party releases are using key cards.
  • The Switch 2 download is comparable to other platforms, nearing the PS5’s roughly 80GB and trailing the largest PC build at about 94GB.
  • Square Enix has confirmed the full Remake trilogy for Switch 2, and the PS5 size of Rebirth at about 145GB suggests expanded storage will be needed to own multiple entries.
