Metroid Ravenous Estimated at 20.2GB on Nintendo Switch 2
Nintendo has confirmed Metroid Ravenous for Nintendo Switch 2 on January 28, 2027, opened eShop pre-orders, and listed an estimated installation size of 20.2GB.
DNA Brief
Signal Summary
The game puts players in control of bounty hunter Samus as she hunts powerful bosses and uses her newly awakened Metroid instincts to devour enemies. Its estimate is larger than Metroid Dread's 4.2GB requirement but smaller than Metroid Prime 4: Beyond's 27.6GB requirement on Nintendo Switch 2.
Why It Matters
The 20.2GB estimate gives Nintendo Switch 2 owners a concrete storage requirement to plan around before the January 28, 2027 launch. It also places Metroid Ravenous's expected file size between the two previously cited Metroid game requirements.
