According to Nintendo&#8217;s official eShop listing, the &#8220;standard edition&#8221; of the game requires around <strong>84.9 GB<\/strong> of space.<\/p>\n<p>Again, this may not reflect the size on release, and doesn&#8217;t factor in future game updates for multiplayer and other modes.<\/p>\n<p>As for the open beta, if you&#8217;re planning to join the fight on the Switch 2 this weekend, the eShop listing says it will require <strong>38.7 GB<\/strong> of space on your system. If we hear any significant updates about the game&#8217;s file size, we&#8217;ll let you know.<\/p>\n<p>The open beta takes place between 28th August and 1st September and is a free download on the eShop. You can download it now, and it also comes with the playable campaign mission &#8216;Entrenched&#8217; which you can play right now.
