GTA Definitive Edition May Require A Download For Its Physical Version
It's not quite the same as a day one patch, though. Physical editions on Switch sometimes require a larger download to even work, usually seen with third-party releases. When it's only got 64GB built-in storage, that can be a problem. However, it's expandable through Micro SD cards, up to 2TB.
With GTA's Definitive Edition, a retail listing on the North American Nintendo eShop suggests this will need 25GB, where the game is available for pre-order. Elsewhere, it's also listed on the Microsoft Store, requiring 49GB instead for the Xbox version. Make sure to follow us for more gaming news and updates.
