Nintendo Switch Sports Resort for Switch 2 Will Take Up Significantly Less Space Than Expected

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort will take up just 9.83 GB instead of the previously stated 17 GB. The game will be released on Nintendo Switch 2 on October 22, 2026.

Players preparing to return to Wuhu Island in the upcoming Nintendo Switch Sports Resort on Nintendo Switch 2 can breathe a sigh of relief: the game will take up significantly less storage space than previously expected.

Updated Digital Version Size

According to updated Nintendo server data, the game's download file size has been cut almost in half. While initial reports pointed to roughly 17 GB, following optimization the size is now just 9.83 GB. Therefore, you won't necessarily need to rush out and buy a new high-speed microSD Express memory card to install the game.

What Awaits Players in Nintendo Switch Sports Resort

The game is scheduled for release on October 22, 2026, exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2. The game will offer both dynamic competitions and relaxing entertainment for the whole family:

  • 12 sports: from archery controlled with Joy-Con 2 controllers to boxing and thumb wrestling.
  • Wuhu Island exploration: free roaming on a skateboard, jet skis, or light aircraft across land, water, and sky.
  • Character customization: creating your own Sportsmates or transferring your favorite Mii avatars.
  • Island Crown mode: challenge the island's champions in a solo campaign and try to defeat a sports legend.
