Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection on Switch 2: file size, cartridge and performance
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection launched on Switch 2 on March 13, 2026, at $69.99. The install is 27.7 GB, and the physical edition is a Game-Key Card, so the cartridge only unlocks the download. Its performance is the weak point: there are no graphics modes, and the uncapped frame rate hovers just above 30 FPS, rarely going past 35, with uneven frame pacing and some hitching. Because it is a turn-based RPG, this affects how smooth it feels when exploring more than the battles themselves. It supports 13 languages, including Spanish.
