EA SPORTS FC 26 on Switch 2: file size, cartridge and performance
EA SPORTS FC 26 is one of the heaviest games on Switch 2: at 74.8 GB it uses almost 30% of the console's 256 GB internal storage. The physical version is a Game-Key Card, so buying the box does not save you that space; the cartridge only unlocks the download. Plan for it, and leave some margin for season updates. On Switch 2 it is capped at 30 FPS, while the other consoles run at 60 FPS, so if smooth motion matters most to you, another platform is the better pick. For local play it supports up to 4 players on one console and up to 22 online.
