Six years on from the launch of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Breath of the Wild, it's still a modern miracle that Nintendo was able to fit the game on a single card. Now 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Tears of the Kingdom is almost here and Nintendo is back to try and better that miracle. While its file size will definitely be bigger than Breath of the Wild's, there's now some confusion over how much room you'll need on your console as different Nintendo sites are displaying varying sizes.
We previously reported that at more than 18GB, Tears of the Kingd♔om will be the biggest Switch ga🐬me to date, taking the crown from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Bayonetta 3 which clocks in at 16GB. Hold your Hylian horses for just a second, though. has highlighted the Japanese listing for Tears of the Kingdom reads a little differently. According to that, the sequel will also be 16GB, tying the latest 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Bayonetta game for the crown rather than beating it.
With a little more than two weeks to go, the file sizes still differ on both sites. In fact, just to muddy the Zelda waters even further, having checked I can confirm it has a file size for Tears of the Kingdom that differs from both the US and Japan. While Japan's listing has it at 16GB and the US claims the next Zelda game will be 18.2GB, according to the UK's site, Tears of the Kingdom will be more than 18.6GB.
Those of you who don't do your gaming with Nintendo will be reading this and either scoffing or having your jaw hit the floor. While 16GB is an eye-watering file size for a Switch game, it's almost nothing when compared to some titles on PS5 and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Xbox Series X. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, for example, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:clocks in at 155GB on PC. Somehow Respawn has managed to cut that down to a third of tꦺ📖he size for the Series S version, sometཧhing owners of the console will greatly appreciate as 155GB would be roughly a third of all the space it has available.
That's not how things go on the Switch and games that don't have to rely on cloud gaming can somehow be kept to a very low file size. No doubt the end result will be mind-blowing for those of us who play Tears of the Kingdom next month. Whether 16GB or 18GB, what's for certain is the amount of game Nintendo will have managed to cram onto a single card will be almost unbelievable. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The beefy new design for Ganondorf alone would be at least 25GB on a PS5.
