Metaphor: ReFantazio on Switch 2: file size and cartridge format

Game-Key CardComing November 12, 2026

Metaphor: ReFantazio comes to Switch 2 from SEGA and Atlus, with a release date of November 12, 2026 and a launch price of $39.99, low for a game of this size. The 62.1 GB figure comes from the pre-release eShop listing, so treat it as an estimate until launch: it already puts Metaphor among the largest Switch 2 games we track, and it will take close to a quarter of the internal 256 GB on its own. The physical version is a Game-Key Card, so the cartridge only unlocks that download. If you plan to buy the box, check your free space first, and consider a microSD Express card if you also keep other big RPGs installed. Performance figures have not been published yet; this page will be updated once reliable tests are out.
