Nintendo Switch 2 game sizes are still small – but you may need to expand your storage


Your internal storage will be fine for Nintendo's first-party games; bigger third-party options will eat it up in no time

As per the Japanese My Nintendo Store, the biggest game that’ll hog the console's upgraded 256GB of internal storage (up from 32GB on the original Switch – an eightfold increase!) Other first-party Nintendo titles are thankfully a lot smaller, with Donkey Kong Bananza being 10GB, and the upgraded versions of Super Mario Party Jamboree and Kirby and the Forgotten Land 7.7GB and 5.7GB, respectively. They offer the benefit of being much faster than older Micro SD cards due to employing a PCIe and NVMe interface similar to that of more standard SSDs, coming with speeds of up to 900MB/s.
