Cyberpunk 2077 to Consume 25% of Switch 2 Storage

Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition will occupy 64GB of storage space on Nintendo Switch 2 - confirmed by CD Projekt Red. While smaller than its Xbox and PS5 counterparts (100-110GB), this installation constitutes nearly 25% of Switch 2's 256GB internal storage capacity.

Launch Details and Storage Concerns

Scheduled for release alongside Switch 2 on June 5th, Cyberpunk 2077 will be available both as a physical 64GB game card and digital download via Nintendo eShop. Notably, unlike some Switch 2 titles that employ download-only game cards, Cyberpunk will offer full physical installation.

The substantial size raises questions about Switch 2's storage limitations. While the console's 256GB internal memory represents a significant upgrade from the original Switch's 32GB, ambitious titles like Cyberpunk could quickly consume available space.

The Expansion Challenge

Unlike its predecessor which supported standard microSD cards, Switch 2 exclusively uses faster microSD Express storage - requiring users to purchase new, premium-priced memory cards.

Several compatible options are already appearing:

• SanDisk 256GB microSD Express Card ($59.99 at Amazon)
• Lexar 256GB Play PRO microSDXC Express Card ($49.99 at Amazon)
• Lexar 1TB Play PRO microSDXC Express Card ($199.99 at Amazon)
• Lexar 512GB Play PRO microSDXC Express Card ($99.99 at Amazon)

While Nintendo plans branded partnerships with SanDisk and Samsung, these official options typically command higher prices than third-party alternatives.
