Nintendo Switch 2 Storage Gets a Big Boost—Launch Games Are Way Smaller Than Expected

Gamers are no strangers to the pain of maxing out space on the compact 32GB storage of the original Nintendo Switch. With games, system files, and updates, that storage capacity fills up in no time, leaving many to use SD cards just to play at ease. Fortunately, the new Nintendo Switch 2 is addressing this problem head-on by increasing internal storage to a much more spacious 256 GB.

At first, that seemed like a huge plus. But with more robust hardware and presumably more visualized graphics, Switch 2 game file sizes were feared to balloon too, potentially devoting the additional space in equally short order. However, early reports show Nintendo Switch 2 launch titles surprisingly are light on storage, so additional gigabytes will prove quite useful.
