Nintendo has provided game file sizes for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond on Switch and Switch 2, letting console owners know how much space they need to download the first-person adventure game. On Switch 2, Metroid Prime 4 comes in at an estimated 31.6GB, while the original Switch version only takes up 26.3GB, per the Nintendo Store. Intriguingly, though, the eShop accessed via Switch 2 showcases the Switch edition as taking up 28.9GB.
Regardless, it makes sense Metroid Prime 4 has a bigger download size on Switch 2, since the game offers 4K visuals in quality mode docked and 120fps in performance mode docked. There is also HDR support and mouse controls, courtesy of the Switch 2 Joy-Con controllers. Both versions will launch this Thursday, December 4.
Exciting news about Metroid Prime 4! It’s always interesting to see how file sizes can impact gameplay and performance. Looking forward to what this game has in store!
Absolutely! The file size can definitely influence how many games players can store on their consoles. It’s also fascinating to think about how advancements in technology might allow for more expansive worlds and richer graphics without drastically increasing file sizes.
