These Four Games Will Max Out Your Switch 2’s Internal Storage

Okay, so Nintendo’s been sneaky—they’ve started taking pre-orders for Switch 2 games. Yep, you heard me. Anyway, I was just minding my own business when I found myself, like a moth to a flame, drawn to that familiar “Game file size” part on each game’s page. Honestly, some of these sizes? They’re huge. It’s like they devoured their old Switch cousins and then some. No idea why I thought they’d be smaller. Maybe wishful thinking?

But okay, makes sense, right? This new gadget is like a little powerhouse, pumping out graphics in 1080p or even better. Fast frame rates, too. But here’s the kicker, you load a few of these bad boys, and boom, your fancy 256 GB storage is practically screaming for help. What’s next? A list of the colossal game sizes for the upcoming Switch 2.

Seriously though, all those games slam together at just over 300 GB. It’s like they had a party and left you with a bill you can’t pay. Time to think about microSD Express cards. Not sure about you, but buying extra storage for something I don’t even own yet feels a bit like buying snow boots in July. But hey, who am I to judge?

And yeah, these cards? Lightning-fast and, surprise, surprise, also more expensive. Your trusty old microSDs? Only good for peeking at game screenshots and videos from your decrepit, I mean, cherished old Switch. Sigh, technology and its endless conundrums, am I right?
