The Nintendo Switch 2 may come with a much larger 256GB internal storage than its predecessor, but some of its biggest games on the console can still eat through your storage surprisingly fast. It's somewhat expected, considering that many titles can contain expansive open-world and highly detailed assets. So, if you're trying to efficiently manage your storage space, then you might want to keep this article handy. That's because we'll be diving into 15 games on the Nintendo Switch with the largest file sizes.
15 Nintendo Switch 2 Games With the Biggest File Sizes
These games will definitely occupy a lot of space on your Switch...
15. Resident Evil Requiem
File Size: 28.7 GB
Resident Evil Requiem is one of Capcom's larger Switch 2 releases, but it features highly detailed environments, cinematic storytelling, and the series' signature survival horror atmosphere. It's also a visually impressive experience that doesn't really break the unbelievably high file sizes of some modern RPGs. It's a solid middle ground between great gameplay and storage efficiency.

14. WILD HEARTS S
File Size: 33.4 GB
Koei Tecmo's WILD HEARTS S features expansive hunting grounds, giant Kemono monsters, and the unique Karakuri building system. The action RPG certainly packs plenty of high-quality assets in its gameplay experience, which is why, personally, it's one of the more underrated titles on the Nintendo Switch 2. While it's nowhere near the size of the biggest RPGs on the console, it still occupies a sizeable chunk of its internal storage.

13. Yakuza 0 Director's Cut
File Size: 46.6 GB
Yakuza 0 Director's Cut brings the streets of Kamurocho and Sotenbori from SEGA's beloved crime drama to the Nintendo Switch 2 in an impressive fashion. This version is packed with additional content that gives "deeper insight into key incidents and character backstories with never-before-seen cutscenes." It also contains the Red Light Rain online multiplayer, which lets you team up with friends and defend against waves of enemies. Worth the download size? Definitely.

12. Fortnite
File Size: 49.4 GB
Epic's battle royale giant remains one of the most frequently updated games in the world. Constant content additions, seasonal updates, new skins, and a growing collection of game modes have steadily increased its footprint. Altogether, it has made Fortnite one of the largest free-to-play titles available on Switch 2

11. ELDEN RING Tarnished Edition
File Size: 50 GB
ELDEN RING Tarnished Edition is not even out yet, but it will be one of the biggest games on the Nintendo Switch 2. Set to release on August 28, 2026, this version includes the critically acclaimed base game, the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, and additional armor and customization options for the Torrent's appearance. We did not expect anything less from a game whose open world is incredibly massive and so incredibly detailed.

10. HITMAN World of Assassination
File Size: 54.5 GB
HITMAN World of Assassination is huge, but there's a good reason for it. It contains the original HITMAN, HITMAN 2, and HITMAN 3 as well as all of HITMAN 2's expansion packs and HITMAN 3's additional content. Pretty big, right? So, if you want to follow Agent 47's globe-trotting adventure across enormous sandbox maps and thrilling missions, then you definitely won't mind the game's download size.

9. Madden NFL 26
File Size: 57.7 GB
EA's massive football franchise arrives with a surprisingly large footprint on the Nintendo Switch 2. Madden NFL 26 has high-quality player models, accurate stadium designs, broadcast-style presentation, and extensive commentary packs that all contribute to the game's substantial file size.

8. Street Fighter 6
File Size: 60 GB
Street Fighter 6 isn't just a fighting game anymore — it's a full-blown experience. Between World Tour mode, online features, heavy cinematic story, and its growing roster of fighters, Capcom's latest installment in the classic franchise packs a huge amount of content into its initial file size.

7. Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition
File Size: 60.6 GB
Night City is huge, dense, and packed with a bunch of detail, which helps explain why Cyberpunk 2077 has a massive file size. It also doesn't help that the Ultimate Edition includes both the base game and the Phantom Liberty expansion, which adds a decent chunk to the overall number. Yet, we personally think it's worth it because the game genuinely delivers one of the biggest RPG experiences ever available on a Nintendo platform (excluding all the early-day bugs).

6. Split Fiction
File Size: 69.2 GB
Split Fiction is not only one of the best co-op adventure games to have been released recently, but it's also one of the largest games on the Nintendo Switch 2, thanks to its constantly changing worlds and elaborate mechanics. The game follows the story of writers Mio Hudson and Zoe Foster, as they are trapped in their own fictional works. The result is a fun-filled and action-packed game that's full of unique environments, which is definitely a major reason as to why this game's file size is so big. Still, it's a perfect showcase of what the console can do.

5. NBA 2K26
File Size: 71.2 GB
NBA 2K26 continues the series' tradition of hefty installs. Between lifelike player models, immersive arenas, extensive commentary, updates to MyCAREER, and multiple online modes, it's clear to see why it occupies so much space. Overall, it's a rather polished game, so it can definitely be a valuable addition to your collection.

4. EA SPORTS FC 26
File Size: 74.8 GB
Like most of EA's games, EA SPORTS FC 26 requires a rather large amount of storage space on the Nintendo Switch 2. But it's clear to see why. The game has an insanely large roster of players, updated player likenesses, grand stadium presentations, expanded animations, and multiple online modes. The next installment will surely be larger than this one, but only time will tell.

3. WWE 2K26
File Size: 86 GB
2K games are notorious for not having the most "compact" file sizes on the Nintendo Switch 2 — and this, unfortunately, applies to WWE 2K26. Featuring a huge roster of wrestlers, multiple game modes, extensive commentary, and highly detailed character models, it's easy to see where all that space goes. So, if you're a wrestling fan, the massive download size may be worth it, but the game may claim well over a third of your console's available storage all by itself.

2. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade
File Size: 90.4 GB
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is another storage giant. It is the first title in a trilogy of games that remake Square Enix's 1997 game, Final Fantasy VII. Along with the complete remake of Midgar, the package also includes the Episode INTERmission expansion starring Yuffie, making it one of the largest downloads currently available on Nintendo's console. Its massive size even exceeds the capacity of a standard 64 GB game card, which is why the physical version ships as a Game-Key Card.

1. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
File Size: 91.8 GB
At a staggering 91.8 GB, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth currently stands as one of the biggest Nintendo Switch 2 games ever released. It is the second in a trilogy of games for the remake of Final Fantasy VII (after Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade). Quite frankly, it's a massive RPG that features a huge open world, fully voiced cutscenes, detailed character models, and countless hours of side content. That said, if you're planning to journey beyond Midgar on the Nintendo Switch 2, you'll definitely want plenty of free storage before getting started.
