Switch 2 Owners: Prepare to Clear Space for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
Gamers planning to digitally purchase Hyrule Warriors: age of Imprisonment next week should check their Nintendo Switch 2 storage, as the title requires a considerable download size. The upcoming action game is estimated to occupy between 40-45GB of space.
According to the official Nintendo eShop page, Age of Imprisonment will be 42.7GB, with the webpage listing 42.8GB. Download cards discovered in Japan suggest a slightly larger file size of 44GB, as reported by Twisted Voxel. This makes Age of Imprisonment a substantially large download, particularly for the Switch 2’s internal storage. Players opting for a physical copy will not need to worry about download sizes, as Nintendo is publishing the game in the west and will include the full game on the cartridge. However, it’s worth noting that some third-party publishers are utilizing Game-Key cards, requiring a separate digital download even with a physical purchase – a practice that has received negative feedback from fans.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is a spin-off of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and recent trailers have showcased key characters and fast-paced gameplay.
