Alright, let’s dive in. So, I was randomly checking out stuff on Nintendo’s site — those pre-orders for Switch 2 games are live, by the way. And while I was supposed to be focusing on the games themselves, guess what snagged my attention? Yeah, the “Game file size” bit. Don’t ask why. I just had to see how much space they’d hog. Turns out, some of these game files are like, huge. More like the chunky ones you’d see on a PC than what we had for the old Switch ports. Seriously, didn’t see that coming. Or maybe I did? Who knows.
Apparently, the new Switch 2 is beefy enough to run games in 1080p and beyond, with those buttery smooth frame rates everyone keeps raving about. So yeah, just a couple of these massive games will max out the Switch 2’s 256 GB storage. Let’s break it down: some of those upcoming game sizes are colossal.
Add them all up and we’re looking at over 300 GB. Oops, guess you gotta grab a microSD Express card. Now, I know what you’re thinking – who buys storage for a console they haven’t even touched yet? Honestly, no idea. But it’s like, maybe being prepared is the way to go? Get the biggest microSD Express you can handle, because those things are lightning-fast, and yeah, more expensive. Old microSD cards? Forget about using them for anything interesting on the Switch 2. Maybe just for browsing old screenshots and clips. Fun times.
