A number of Switch games have required extra downloads for their physical versions. Sizes vary, but NBA 2K18, L.A. Noire, and Wolfenstein II are just a few examples of this.

Starlink: Battle for Atlas is another title that has a download requirement. Back at E3, we heard that it would be 15GB. However, there’s now conflicting information surfacing.
