Rockstar’s L.A. Noire is the first Nintendo Switch title that won’t fit on its hard drive (HDD).
The Rockstar support knowledge base says that while the Switch technically has a 32GB hard drive, some of that space is reserved… so all 29GB of L.A. Noire won’t fit. That means a MicroSD is needed to beef up that storage space.
Buying physically won’t save hard drive space either — the physical cartridge version “will require a 14 GB digital download containing required gameplay data as well as general bug fixes and improvements,” Rockstar advised.
Considering the amount of games heading to Switch, a sizeable MicroSD is a pretty smart purchase. And hey — despite the size requirements, L.A. Noire was always a large game; it took up four discs on Xbox 360.
L.A. Noire heads to Windows PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Switch on 14 November.
