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

Nintendo’s at it again, yeah? They just opened the floodgates for Switch 2 pre-orders and, like a moth to a screen, I dashed over to check out those game file sizes. I dunno why, but I’m always nosey like that. Anyway — I got sidetracked, but hey, some of these games? Huge. Like, they’re beefy enough to rival some PC games. Seriously, who saw that coming? Not me.

So, I guess, the new Switch is packing a punch. It’s not just talk, it’s got the power for 1080p and more. That sounds cool, right? But there’s a catch—your shiny new toy’s 256 GB is gonna get cramped. Fast. A few games, and boom, you’re outta room. Like when you pack for a weekend trip but somehow fill a suitcase. Here’s my odd little list of chunky games on their way:

Now, think about it, that list hits over 300 GB. Ever try stuffing more clothes in an already overstuffed drawer? That’s what you’ve got here, friend. You’re gonna need one of those fancy microSD Express cards. And, yes, they’re gonna make your wallet feel a tad lighter. But, could you even wait? I mean, feeling prepared is all the rage, apparently.

Spending cash on extra storage when you haven’t even got the console in hand—kinda nuts, right? But let’s be real, it’s like buying concert merch at the door instead of online. Sometimes, waiting just isn’t an option. Those new microSDs? Blazing fast (and your bank account is gonna notice). And your old cards? They’re basically good for nothing now except sorting photo albums from the old days. Isn’t tech fun?
