Splatoon Raiders on Switch 2: file size, cartridge and performance
Splatoon Raiders is Nintendo's Splatoon spin-off for Switch 2, released on July 23, 2026, at $49.99. The physical version has the full game on the cartridge, as with Nintendo's own releases, and the digital version needs 13.2 GB, small enough that storage will not be a concern. Reviewers report about 1440p on the TV and about 1080p in handheld mode at 60 FPS with no visible frame drops; those resolutions are estimates by eye rather than pixel counts. It supports up to 4 players over local wireless and up to 4 online, so you need a console per player for multiplayer rather than split-screen.
