Hogwarts Legacy, the eagerly awaited RPG for Nintendo Switch, is about to cast its spell over the gaming world. As excited fans prepare for this magical adventure, one question looms large: How much space should they clear on their Nintendo Switch?

Download Size For Hogwarts Legacy For Nintendo Switch

Now, the Hogwarts Legacy download size has been unveiled, and it's safe to say that it's not quite as massive as the vast halls of the famous wizarding school but still substantial. On the Nintendo eShop, the game's size is listed as a mere 6.8GB. But here's where a bit of wizardry comes into play - while the eShop states 6.8GB, it's essential to note that the fine print also indicates that players will need to download at least 15GB. Magic, it seems, does come at a cost.

For comparison, the PC version of Hogwarts Legacy engulfs over 70GB, making this a feat worth applauding. This feat becomes even more impressive considering the magical universe that awaits players in Hogwarts Legacy.

Hogwarts Legacy is set to launch onto the Nintendo Switch on November 14, 2023, adding a new chapter to the mystical world of wizardry. Pre-orders are available now, and the game is currently accessible on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC platforms.

As you anticipate your magical journey into the world of Hogwarts, don't forget to make room on your Nintendo Switch, and maybe invest in a magical extension charm for your storage. After all, in the wizarding world, you can never have too much space for spells and surprises.
