Nintendo Switch players encountering storage space issues

Nintendo Switch players without SD cards may see an error about running out of space during patching or when launching the game. We recommend using an SD card to expand your storage, but if you don’t have one, you can free up space if needed in the System Settings -> Data Management menu of your Switch.

This allows you to:

• Archive games in the Quick Archive menu

• These can be redownloaded at a later time

• Delete old save game files in Delete Save Data

• Make sure these are backed up first if you want to keep them. You can do this in the Save Data Cloud menu

• Delete old videos and screenshots that you don’t need in the Manage Screenshots and Videos menu

• If you have files you want to keep then you can copy these to a computer via a USB connection. There is a menu option for this

We are working on improvements to reduce the size of the game which should make these issues less common in future.
