Magic Requires Space: Hogwarts Legacy on the Nintendo Switch

Hello gamer friend! Today, we're talking about the epic adventure Hogwarts Legacy, which has just made its journey to the Nintendo Switch. But wait! Before you wave your wand and shout "Accio game!", there's something you need to know. This magical title might demand more from your little handheld than you think.

Yes, you heard it right. It seems that the magic of Hogwarts requires quite a bit of space. So much so that you might have to delete some of your other games from your system in order to install it. Sounds intense? Let's dive into the details.

Great Magic, Great Storage Space

Do you love getting lost in the halls of Hogwarts and expanding your magical abilities? Then Hogwarts Legacy is just the game for you. However, all that magic comes at a price - and I'm not talking about Galleons. Hogwarts Legacy will take up about half of the storage space on your Nintendo Switch. The game itself is about 7 GB in size, and the mandatory day one patch adds another 8 GB. Yes, you read that right. So, you'll need about 15 GB of free storage space on your console in total.

Spells for More Storage?

Unfortunately, there's no spell to expand the storage of your Nintendo Switch. But don't worry, there are other solutions! You can expand your console's storage with a microSD card. Up to 2 TB of additional storage can be added, providing enough space for Hogwarts Legacy and many other games.

But be aware: while expanding the storage will give you more room for your games, it won't improve the performance of your console. However, Hogwarts Legacy benefits from the handheld style of the Switch and is full of tasks that are more suited for short gaming sessions rather than long gaming marathons.

Make Room for Hogwarts Legacy

The arrival of Hogwarts Legacy on the Nintendo Switch is exciting news for all the Potterheads out there. But as you can see, it may be necessary to uninstall some other games to make room for this magical adventure. Or you can invest in a microSD card and expand your console's storage. Either way, you'll find a way to bring the magic of Hogwarts Legacy to your Nintendo Switch.
