The flipside is that the Switch 2 now has some pretty hefty file sizes to deal with. Cyberpunk 2077 is nearly 60GB, while Street Fighter 6 is 49.2GB, and Fortnite is 37.8GB. That’s smaller than on a PS5, for example, where blockbuster games are often pushing 100GB, but it does mean I’ve already had to manage my software to make things fit.

While most shops have completely sold out, EE still has the Nintendo Switch 2 available as part of a 24-month bundle. It includes the console, a digital copy of Mario Kart World, 12 months of Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, and EE’s Gamer’s and Video Data Passes.

Unofficial figures point to the Nintendo Switch 2 being far more successful than expected, but Nintendo themselves are not saying anything.
