I'm honestly asking myself how these re-releases will sell and how this will work long term on the Switch 2.
For the release day we already have Elden Ring (60GB on Steam) and Cyberpunk+Add on (100+GB). Now this FF (100GB) - that's more than the internal storage of the Switch 2. Unless the developers will be able to shed a ton of space, this is not sustainable.
And since, for some reason, Nintendo's Semi-proprietary SD-cards only come in 256GB, this will not be a solution either. How many SD-cards will you have to buy over the years?
Cyberpunk will be available fully on cartridge (English, Other languages will need a download), 64GB.
Impressive that CDPR was able to shed that much space.
Still, I think that storage space will be an issue - 64GB is still effectively a fourth of the consoles memory space. And with the trend of digital downloads over physical games, the buck is gonna stop somewhere.
