CD Projekt Red claims Nintendo Switch 2 physical cartridges go up to 64GB

According to CD Projekt Red, the highest Nintendo Switch 2 physical cartridge can hold 64GB of data.

The company is going for that amount for its launch game Cyberpunk 2077. CD Projekt Red’s community manager, who was speaking about the game with Beatemups, said the team “specifically went for the highest capacity, so 64 gigs.”

While that may seem small for some third-party games, it’s unclear how many publishers would be willing to go beyond that. We’re already starting to see companies opt for game-key cards with smaller titles – these are cartridges that require a download before playing such as with Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster.

Nintendo itself tends to keep file sizes on the smaller side, especially compared to others in the industry. Based on the initial round of Nintendo Switch 2 listings, Mario Kart World is one of the bigger ones at 23.4GB, but that’s still significantly lower than many other third-party titles.

Nintendo Switch 2 launches on June 5, 2025 and Cyberpunk 2077 launches on the same day. It’s confirmed that the game will support gyroscope aiming, motion controls, touch screen commands, and mouse capabilities as well as cross-progression.
