Switch backlog sizes
Per Nintendo Everything, the Switch list runs from Half Billion Love Choice at 7.4GB down to Super Dev Quest at 65MB across indies and sims. Full table sits in the source roundup with prior roundups tagged file-size.
Notable mids include Garfield Escape From Monday at 3.0GB and Motel Renovator Simulator at 1.9GB. Tiny entries like Tentacle Tango at 350MB and Courier at 280MB fill gaps.
These are eShop listing sizes, not patched installs. Day-one updates add on top.
What the sizes mean for storage
Witcher 3 plus Dragon Quest 11 S together need about 67GB before saves and patches. That is a quarter of a 256GB card with system overhead.
Switch 2 internal plus microSD Express options decide load times as well as capacity. Budget cards stall large open worlds.
Archive finished indies before September 29. Small titles reinstall fast when needed.
- Big two: About 67GB combined for Witcher plus DQ11S.
- Headroom: Keep 20 percent free for patches and saves.
- Source range: NA, EU, and JP listings per Nintendo Everything.
Should you expand storage now
Expand if Witcher 3 and DQ11S both sit in your September queue with less than 100GB free. One card upgrade beats daily archive shuffles.
Skip if only indies fill your list. Sub-gigabyte titles fit around existing installs.
