Indiana Jones and the Great Circle needs 64GB on Switch 2, physical edition owners dodge the storage crunch

MachineGames' Indiana Jones and the Great Circle hits Nintendo Switch 2 on May 12, and the eShop listing reveals the digital version clocks in at roughly 59.7GB for the base game, with the The Order of Giants DLC adding another 4.4GB—over 64GB total for the complete digital package.

For someone who's sunk 200 hours into JRPGs, that file size isn't shocking. Switch 2 leaves around 220GB for games out of the box, meaning three AAA titles of this scale will max out the internal storage. Digital buyers should grab a microSD card now. The physical cartridge version, though, ships with the full game data—no day-one downloads, no internet required. That's a win for collectors like me who want the complete experience on the cart itself, no worrying about delisted DLC years down the line.

Switch 2's cartridge capacity has clearly jumped—fitting a 60GB game on physical media is a marked improvement over the original Switch era, where physical copies routinely demanded 20GB patches. MachineGames deserves credit here. For completionists who chase every collectible, there's nothing worse than cracking open a physical case only to face a mandatory download that breaks the "unbox and play" ritual.

The 4.4GB footprint for The Order of Giants DLC suggests more than cosmetic filler—likely new maps, story branches, or additional collectibles. Hidden chests, artifact catalogs, the usual treasure-hunting checklist. Physical edition owners can dive in the moment the May 12 launch hits. Digital buyers, clear that storage now or have a card ready—don't let a download queue kill your momentum.
