Four Games That Will Max Out Your Switch 2’s Built-In Storage

Okay, so Nintendo’s doing something interesting with the Switch 2 — they’re letting you pre-order games, and I gotta admit, I dove right into checking the “Game file size” on each. It’s like this weird habit I have. Who even does that? Anyway, these game sizes are kinda blowing my mind a bit. They’re more like what you’d see on a PC than what we had with the first Switch.

Why, you ask? Well, probably because this new console can handle 1080p and fast frame rates. Yeah, sounds techy and cool, right? But here’s the catch — you fill up that 256 GB storage much quicker than you’d think. Imagine this: you get just a few games, and boom, you’re done. Gotta stare at this long list of new Switch 2 games that add up to over 300 GB. It’s kinda like trying to fit a giant puzzle into a tiny box. Oops, no space left.

You might think it’s kind of bonkers to buy extra storage for a console you don’t have yet. But hear me out — getting the biggest microSD Express card you can afford is the smart play here. They’re way faster than the old microSDs, and yes, they cost more. Oh, and a quick heads-up: those old cards won’t work on the Switch 2, unless you just want to look at all those clips and screenshots from the old days. Nostalgia, right?
