When it launches on June 3, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will take up a significant portion of the Switch 2's internal storage. However, a lot of optimization…

The Square Enix game will take up exactly 102 GB on Nintendo's console, compared to approximately 145 GB for other iterations. On X, director Naoki Hamaguchi said he reused the lessons learned from optimizing the game for the Steam Deck on the Switch 2 version.

"We're using what we learned from optimizing for the Steam Deck to improve the Switch 2 version as well, including reducing the overall data size."

Guessing this one won't be on the cart.

170 GB preload on the Xbox- Jesus.

Bigger than the PS5, as mentioned.

Is file compression a lost art or ?

It is compressed... It's an absolutely massive game.

It's a big game. I'll have to make space on my card. I'm glad I got it before prices skyrocketed. I think mine was 512GB for like $50 at Walmart.

So far no Square products have released on cart as far as I know, sadly.

Switch doesn't use discs...??

If you're going to troll, at least don't be lazy about it

 

[FoxMcChief]

I just checked and FF7:Remake is 90GB, so that's pretty much an even swap for me.

Hey at least you can play that version in 4K on current consoles with the 1080p FMV from the PS3 version.

I don't think there are 128GB carts, 64GB is the current limit? And if there were 128GB cards, that would be some expensive stuff.

I guess the concept of multiple Gamecards was too lame for me to comprehend...sorry.

Developers already use key cards to avoid the high cart cost, Square shipping a game on 4 carts would need them to price the game $150 at least.

i know, i was just joking, cause back in the day multiple discs was the only way to ship a game physically since digital gaming was a baby, my point was that it can be done and that would be the only way.

nah, you just stupid ( or just too easily offended ) to understand simple joke reference of gaming or you may be too young, but i believe that is sadly the first one.
