Hogwarts Legacy on Nintendo Switch May Require Deleting Other Games

The Nintendo Switch version of Hogwarts Legacy is scheduled for release; however, because of the console's limited storage, gamers may encounter issues with its arrival. The game has an obligatory day-one patch, which may cause space problems given the size of the game. The Nintendo Switch comes with a 32 GB default storage capacity; to add more, you'll need to buy a microSD card that works with it.

Although Hogwarts Legacy for the Nintendo Switch is only roughly 7 GB in size—much less than the 73 GB of the PC version—the day-one patch adds an additional 8 GB, making the game's total size approximately 15 GB. This one game will take up almost half of the available storage, even before the operating system requirements of the device are taken into consideration.

The greatest way to address the storage problem with the Nintendo Switch is to use a microSD card, which offers up to 2 TB of extra capacity. As a result, users can access a wide selection of games without having to remove and reload them. It emphasizes how additional storage should be included in future Nintendo Switch models, particularly if Hogwarts Legacy and other game sequels are to be released.

When Hogwarts Legacy hits the Nintendo Switch on November 14, 2023, gamers might want to think about storage options so they can play the game without having to give up other games.
