Curious about whether Nintendo Switch game cards use up your precious console storage? Well, you’re not alone in wondering this.

Let’s dive into the specifics of how Nintendo Switch game cards interact with your console’s storage space.

Short Answer: Not Really

Nope, Nintendo Switch game cards don’t take up significant storage space on your console. These physical game cards store the game data themselves, meaning they run off the card, not your console’s internal storage.

However, there’s a small catch. While the bulk of a game’s data lives on the card, things like save data, game updates, and downloadable content (DLC) will use a bit of your console’s storage. Think of the game card as the main course, with your console’s storage handling the side dishes.
