WWE 2K26 Devours 92.8GB on Switch 2

The latest Switch 2 eShop listings are out, and WWE 2K26 is sitting at a jaw-dropping 92.8GB. For context, Monster Hunter Stories 3 and the Fatal Frame 2 remake combined don't come close.

The latest eShop file size listings dropped today, and the number that's going to send Switch 2 owners into a cold sweat is 92.8GB. That's what WWE 2K26 will cost you in storage, and it's not even close to the next biggest title on the list.

For comparison, both Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection and the Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake clock in at 29.3GB each on Switch 2. Add them together and you still don't reach WWE 2K26's footprint. The wrestling sim is essentially eating the storage of two major releases and asking for seconds. Switch 2 launches with 256GB of internal storage, which sounds generous until a single sports title swallows more than a third of it before you've downloaded anything else.

What Else Is on the List

The rest of the roundup is considerably less alarming. On the original Switch side, the titles are exactly what you'd expect from the eShop's long tail of smaller releases: UFOPhilia at 4.6GB is the biggest of the bunch, followed by Zumba: Galactic Marble Blast at 3.9GB, with most of the remaining titles sitting well under a gigabyte. Collie Call: The Future Is Calling is out here at 61MB. Penguin is 46MB. These are the kinds of numbers that make WWE 2K26's 92.8GB feel genuinely absurd.

This isn't entirely surprising if you follow the series on other platforms. WWE 2K games have been ballooning in size for years, packed with roster entries, entrance animations, and creation suite assets that add up fast. But seeing that number on Switch 2 hardware is still a gut punch. The console is already going to face scrutiny over whether its storage solution is adequate for a generation of increasingly large games, and WWE 2K26 is not helping that conversation.

Monster Hunter Stories 3 launches on March 13, and its 29.3GB is reasonable for what Capcom is delivering. The Fatal Frame 2 remake matching that number exactly is a coincidence worth noting. WWE 2K26 doesn't have a confirmed release date in the source listings, but its eShop presence means it's far enough along that storage planning is now a real concern for anyone who wants it.

If you were hoping to keep WWE 2K26, Monster Hunter Stories 3, and a handful of other titles on your Switch 2 without an expansion card, start shopping for one now.
