Here’s how much storage space the Switch 2 actually has

June 5, 2025 2 Min Read

Here’s how to upload all your Switch data before you sell it for a Switch 2

The Nintendo Switch 2 starts with 256 GB of internal storage. This is eight times the storage size of the original switch. However, some of the advertised 256 GB of storage is being bitten by the Switch 2 system software. This means that users will not have access to the full price. This is typical of almost any device. The software needed to run applications such as Interface, GameChat, and Nintendo Eshop also needs storage.

According to Nintendo’s published technical specifications for Switch 2, the unidentified portion of the 256 GB of Universal Flash Storage (UFS) is reserved for use by the system. After getting the release date version of Switch 2 and installing the console’s Day-One system update, you can now better understand how much it is available to users.

After installing system updates and transferring switch data to switch 2, you will see available storage Approximately 228 GB to 230 GB Does not count games, do not store data, or have transferred album images and videos available storage.

That being said, after loading the entire switch library back into switch 2, I still have it 160 GB Rest – plenty of space for the real Native Switch 2 games. Additionally, Switch 2 storage can be expanded with a MicroSD Express card. So, if you think 256 GB is a small amount, the available storage will be twice as fast as the physical copy cost.
