Yooka-Replaylee on Switch 2: file size, cartridge and performance
Yooka-Replaylee is the remake of the 3D platformer Yooka-Laylee, released on Switch 2 on October 9, 2025, at $29.99. Unlike most third-party releases, the physical version has the full game on the cartridge, so there is no download needed to start playing. The digital install is 12.7 GB. An April 2026 update added a Performance Mode that targets 60 FPS at a lower resolution, while Fidelity Mode keeps the launch visuals at a lower frame rate; for a platformer, Performance Mode is usually the better choice because jumps feel more responsive. It supports 11 languages, including Spanish.
