On Switch 2, the fighting game Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage from Sega attracts the most attention. The expanded 30th anniversary edition with new textures, mechanics, and characters will require downloading 25.5 GB of data. This is a significant amount for a fighting game, which confirms the developers' promises to improve the graphics.
Fans of tactical games will need 7.4 GB of free space for Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. Other projects for the new console also include Bang Bang Bandits – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (9.7 GB) and Deadzone: Rogue (8.5 GB).
The situation with games for the first Switch also looks interesting. The "heaviest" project on the list is the baseball simulator MLB The Show 26; the version for the old console will take up 30.3 GB. This almost completely fills the internal memory of the basic model of the device (32 GB). Other games mentioned include Ghost Master: Resurrection (10.0 GB) and Moto Rush Reborn (8.3 GB).
Despite developers' attempts to compress data more, in 2026, a fast and capacious MicroSD card will likely become a mandatory purchase for Switch 2 owners.
