Make some space

Nintendo has updated the official pageforthe newly revealed sequel, and theBayonetta 3file size clocks in at 15GB.

It’s not quite as compact as a first-party game (Nintendo continues to work its magic, asMario StrikersSwitch is a staggeringly low 3GB!); rather, it’s a fairly standard “AAA” size without breaking the bank too much (like say, an open world RPG such asWitcher 3does with roughly 31GB of space baseline).

Bayonetta 3 file size

For reference, here is how theBayonetta 3file size stacks up against the other games on Switch:

On Switch, physical copies tend to matter more than other platforms. Not only are you cutting out the need for space (as Switch carts don’t need to obnoxiously install anyway on your device), but typically, Nintendo games keep their value over time, especially if it’s something that’s technically first-party (developed or published) likeBayonetta 3.

Thankfully Nintendo tends to keep its file size data updated on the official listings for all its games, so people can plan ahead if needed, and people can do all the storageTetristhey can to prepare. For people with a lot of games, it can get overwhelming sometimes!
