Persona 3 Reload on Switch 2: file size, cartridge and performance
Persona 3 Reload came to Switch 2 on October 23, 2025, and it is a good example of a game that improved after launch. Update 1.03 added a Performance mode on the TV that targets 60 FPS at 1080p, occasionally dipping into the upper 50s; the Standard mode and handheld play run at 1080p and 30 FPS. If you play docked, Performance mode is the one to pick. The install is 21.7 GB, a fair size for a long RPG, but the physical version is a Game-Key Card, so the cartridge only unlocks the download. The game supports 11 languages, including Spanish.
