South Park: The Fractured But Whole - Nintendo Switch

Ubisoft will officially launch South Park: The Fractured But Whole for Switch on Tuesday. But some folks have the game early, and we’re hearing that a big update has been issued.

The patch is significant, weighing in at 3.1GB. Unfortunately though, we don’t have the specifics of what the update entails at this time. The good news is that, even without the patch, South Park: The Fractured But Whole is completely playable on Switch.

If you missed one of our recent file size roundups, you may not have heard about an interesting approach Bandai Namco is taking with Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy on Switch. You’ll be able to purchase the collection itself, but also the individual games.

This could be handy if you played through one of the Naruto titles on other platforms previously and are only interested in certain ones. That means, for example, you’ll be able to purchase Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 on its own. With listings on the European eShop, we can confirm Bandai Namco will be making the trilogy and standalone titles available in Japan and in the west.
