Granblue and Digimon give Switch 2 storage planners their first hard numbers
The latest Switch 2 file sizes listed on regional eShops put two RPGs in very different storage brackets: Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok is listed at 39.1GB on Nintendo Switch 2, while Digimon Story: Time Stranger is listed at 15.8GB on Switch 2. Nintendo Everything reports that those numbers were pulled from eShop listings in North America, Europe, and Japan, alongside a smaller Switch 2 listing for Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 1+2 Dual Collection at 4.7GB.
That is the concrete development for players mapping out Nintendo Switch 2 storage. If you are planning to keep Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok and Digimon Story: Time Stranger installed digitally at the same time, the currently listed footprint is 54.9GB before considering any future updates whose sizes have not been disclosed in the provided listings. Add the Gunvolt dual collection from the same Switch 2 roundup and the total reaches 59.6GB.
For RPG players, that is not abstract housekeeping. Granblue is the kind of action RPG built around party construction, character mechanics, and repeatable co-op quests, according to its official Nintendo store page. Digimon Story: Time Stranger is a creature-collecting RPG with DigiFarm management elements, and RPGamer reports that Bandai Namco has a free update timed to the Nintendo release that adds a DigiFarm condition screen, Photo Mode, Terriermon Assistant as a playable character, and a graphics mode selection option. These are games players are likely to revisit rather than clear and immediately archive, which makes their listed install sizes more relevant than a one-weekend download.
The RPG installs are not equal, and Granblue is the storage outlier
Among the Switch 2 titles in Nintendo Everything's roundup, Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok is the clear heavyweight at 39.1GB. The official Nintendo page lists the Switch 2 version as releasing on July 9, 2026, with a digital Standard Edition selected on the store page and a download demo button shown in the listing text. The same page describes the game as an action RPG with a party of four, character-specific combat mechanics, link attacks, chain bursts, Assist Mode, online co-op, and expanded solo and multiplayer content for this version.
Those official feature notes help explain why the Granblue Fantasy Relink Switch 2 file size matters more than a simple gigabyte count. A quest-driven action RPG with solo and multiplayer progression encourages players to leave it installed for repeat sessions, especially if they are coordinating online play. Nintendo's listing also carries ESRB content descriptors for Language, Mild Suggestive Themes, and Violence, plus notices for Users Interact and In-Game Purchases. The source text does not specify pricing, upgrade options, or whether the demo shares assets with the full game, so the safest storage guidance is to treat the 39.1GB listing as the full version's current eShop figure rather than a ceiling on all possible related downloads.
Digimon Story: Time Stranger sits in a smaller but still meaningful range at 15.8GB on Switch 2. The Digimon Story Time Stranger file size is large enough that it deserves planning if you expect to keep multiple RPGs active, but it is less than half of Granblue's listed Switch 2 footprint. That difference is useful for players deciding what to install first around release dates: Granblue is the one that can force a larger reshuffle of existing software, while Digimon is the one more likely to fit into a tighter library if you have already made room for several mid-size games.
Switch 2 versions are larger than the Switch listings where comparisons exist
The file-size roundup includes direct Switch and Switch 2 comparisons for two games. Digimon Story: Time Stranger is listed at 15.8GB on Switch 2 and 12.4GB on Switch, a 3.4GB difference. Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 1+2 Dual Collection is listed at 4.7GB on Switch 2 and 3.8GB on Switch, a 0.9GB difference. Nintendo Everything attributes the figures to eShop listings rather than publisher statements, so they should be read as storefront data rather than a technical breakdown of why the versions differ.
For Digimon, the larger Switch 2 listing arrives alongside a version rollout that already has some platform-specific attention. RPGamer reports that Bandai Namco's free Digimon Story: Time Stranger update will be available for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on July 9, 2026, and for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 on July 10, 2026, when the game releases on those Nintendo platforms. RPGamer says the update adds a graphics mode selection option, but the report does not say whether that option affects file size or whether the eShop number already accounts for the update.
That uncertainty is important. A listed eShop size tells players what the storefront is currently advertising, not how much space every launch-day patch, optional language pack, demo, or later content update might require. In Digimon's case, the same-day update is confirmed by RPGamer, while its storage impact is not. For players who treat RPG launches like a checklist, the practical move is to leave margin above the 15.8GB listing rather than trimming storage down to the exact number.
The smaller Switch roundup shows how quickly a library becomes uneven
The same Nintendo Everything report includes a long list of Switch file sizes that are far smaller than the RPG headliners. On Switch, Digimon Story: Time Stranger is 12.4GB and Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 1+2 Dual Collection is 3.8GB, followed by games such as Golfish at 2.4GB, Brainrot Card Market Simulator at 1.4GB, Wheelie Life Simulator at 1.2GB, and Dead Estate at 1.0GB. The rest of the Switch list drops into hundreds of megabytes, with examples including Farm Pro 26 Simulator at 771MB, Tower Dominion at 533MB, Color Snake at 513MB, Make It: Shaved Ice at 130MB, Quest Arrest at 67MB, and Eggconsole Hydefos MSX2 at 44MB.
That spread is the real storage story. A player can fit a cluster of smaller puzzle, simulation, retro, or casual releases into the same space that one large RPG consumes. Granblue's 39.1GB Switch 2 listing is larger than many of those smaller Switch listings combined, while Digimon's 15.8GB Switch 2 listing sits in the middle ground where it may not dominate storage by itself but still competes directly with several smaller games.
For an RPG-focused Switch 2 owner, the pressure point is curation. Games built around builds, quest boards, companion rosters, farms, or co-op rotations tend to stay installed because progress is ongoing. Smaller games are easier to rotate. A 39.1GB action RPG asks for a more deliberate slot in the library, and a 15.8GB creature-raising RPG can become part of the permanent rotation if its systems take hold. The eShop data gives players enough to plan those slots, even though it does not answer every technical question.
Physical buyers should not assume the eShop number equals the space they will save
The current listings are useful for digital buyers, but they do not settle the physical-copy question. Nintendo Everything's numbers are eShop file sizes. The provided Nintendo store text for Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok shows a Digital selection for the Standard Edition, while the provided sources do not include cartridge details, packaging language, a game-key-card disclosure, a mandatory download notice, or a physical edition storage requirement for either Granblue or Digimon.
That leaves physical buyers with a gap that matters. A boxed copy can sometimes reduce what needs to live on system storage, but the amount of savings depends on how the release is manufactured and whether extra data, patches, or downloadable content are required. None of the supplied sources confirms those details for these Switch 2 releases. The responsible read is simple: do not buy a physical copy solely on the assumption that it will avoid the 39.1GB Granblue listing or the 15.8GB Digimon listing unless the publisher, Nintendo store page, or retail packaging explicitly confirms how the card handles data.
This is especially relevant for anyone weighing a Switch 2 microSD Express purchase. The file sizes make the storage question concrete, but they do not turn into a physical-versus-digital guarantee. If you are going digital for Granblue and Digimon, plan around 54.9GB from the current listings. If you are going physical, wait for cartridge and download requirement details before counting on meaningful savings.
Release timing makes July a storage decision, not a later cleanup job
The calendar adds urgency. Nintendo's official listing puts Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok on Switch 2 for July 9, 2026. RPGamer reports that Digimon Story: Time Stranger releases for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 on July 10, 2026, with Bandai Namco's free update arriving for those versions the same day. That places the two RPGs back to back for players who want both.
The practical guidance is to decide which kind of progression you want active first. Granblue's official page emphasizes party-based action combat, online co-op, Assist Mode, and a wide range of quests. That suggests a game you may want installed continuously if friends are playing or if the endgame quest loop becomes your focus. Digimon, as described by RPGamer, begins in Tokyo with an ADAMAS agent entering sealed-off Shinjuku, encountering a Digimon, being caught in an explosion, and awakening eight years in the past to prevent a coming collapse. Its confirmed update additions point toward creature management, presentation features, and graphics options, all areas that can reward a slower, system-by-system play style.
If storage is tight, Granblue is the download to clear room for first because its listed Switch 2 footprint is substantially larger. Digimon is easier to stage afterward, but it still should not be treated as a tiny install. If you are waiting on physical editions, the unanswered storage requirements are the key thing to watch. If you are buying digitally, these Switch 2 file sizes are enough to start making room now rather than discovering on release week that two RPGs have claimed nearly 55GB between them.
