Nintendo Switch 2 Game Sizes Unveiled: 256 GB for Players

Nintendo has revealed the game sizes for various titles on its upcoming Switch 2, highlighting the console's 256 GB internal storage upgrade and the requirement for new microSD Express cards for additional space. Upcoming games, including Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong: Bananza, feature relatively small file sizes, which should ease concerns about storage space. Notably, advancements such as AI image upscaling technology demonstrate the Switch 2's capability to support 4K resolution gaming while keeping download sizes manageable. NVIDIA's DLSS technology plays a crucial role, offering enhanced graphics without bloating file sizes.

The biggest game title, Mario Kart World, is 23.4 GB. Other notable sizes include Donkey Kong Bananza at 10 GB, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land at 5.7 GB, showcasing the relatively small storage footprints of the upcoming games.

The Nintendo Switch 2 promises significant improvements over its predecessor, the original Switch, which had limited storage options. By implementing AI upscaling through NVIDIA's DLSS, the Switch 2 aims to deliver high-quality gaming experiences while efficiently managing storage requirements, setting a new standard for console gaming.
