How big of a download will Starlink: Battle for Atlas require on Switch?
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
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.
Over on Amazon’s listing, a photo on the page mentions a 4GB download. But then on Amazon UK, the boxart states that Starlink comes with a 10GB download. There’s obviously some sort of download involved here, but we now have three different numbers. Hopefully we’ll receive clarification closer to launch.
