After recently providing details about the release date and price for the anticipated Switch 2 exclusiveDrag x Drive, Nintendo has also now revealed the file size for the game. Thankfully, early adopters now have a good idea of whether it will be difficult to find room forDrag x Driveon the console. Although the Nintendo Switch 2 comes with more storage space than previous Switch consoles, fans have still had concerns about the file size of some exclusive or popular games.
The game in question is one of just a few exclusive Nintendo Switch 2 titles scheduled for release this summer. Recently, Nintendo revealed thatDrag x Drivewill be released on August 14, and it will also come with a relatively low price tag of $19.99. For those who are new to this title,Drag x Driveis a 3v3 wheelchair basketball game that has a lot of similarities withRocket League, and Nintendo is likely hoping that it can compete with that popular franchise.
Via the official store page,Nintendo revealed the size ofDrag x Drivewill be 1.8 GB. In modern times, that’s a fairly small file size, and it won’t take up much of the 256 GB storage space included on the Switch 2. This is nowhere near thesame size as exclusives likeMario Kart WorldorDonkey Kong Bananza, so Switch 2 owners shouldn’t have a problem installingDrag x Driveonto the console when it is eventually released.

Even if this file size is a concern, there are plenty ofNintendo Switch 2 MicroSD Express cardson the market that can be used to expand the storage limits of the new console. For those who don’t know, MicroSD Express cards are different from the UHS-I and UHS-II cards that the original Nintendo Switch used, which means console owners will need to buy new storage options for the Switch 2 when storage space eventually runs out to keep installing games.
Given that theNintendo Switch 2 Direct revealingDrag x Drivegave the new title a substantial amount of screen time, it’s probably a safe bet that Nintendo is hopeful that the title will quickly become a favorite with early adopters of its latest console. A small file size at least ensures that it will be easy to download and install on most Switch 2 consoles, which should give the developer a pretty good chance at success.
