It's worth taking a look at how big Pikmin 4 is by checking the game's download size, as the Nintendo Switch has a small amount of storage space available.
Pikmin 4 is a long-awaited sequel in the popular real-time strategy puzzle series, where you control a horde of plant-like creatures and lead them through hazardous levels. It's been roughly ten years since the previous mainline entry was released, so fans are ready to jump into the franchise once more.
Whether you're a long-time fan or someone looking to give the series a go, make sure you know what the Pikmin 4 download size.
How big is the download?
The Pikmin 4 download size has been confirmed as 10.718 GB, making it the biggest game in the franchise yet.
Compared to many modern titles with huge install sizes - especially the Starfield download size for example - Pikmin 4 is tiny, but for a Switch title this is a sizeable download.
All of the previous games in the franchise have been significantly smaller, coming in at the following sizes:
- Pikmin 1 - 1.119 GB
- Pikmin 2 - 1.065 GB
- Pikmin 3 - 6.693 GB
For comparison to some modern Switch games, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom clocked in at 16.3 GB, which was a comparatively much bigger experience.
Considering how small the storage space on a Switch is, you may need to free up some room if you plan on downloading Pikmin 4. It's also worth looking at investing in a MicroSD for more room if you don't want to uninstall anything.
That's our full breakdown of the Pikmin 4 download size, and now you know how big the game is and how much storage space it requires on your Nintendo Switch.
