Total: 23.5 GB
Base game: 8.5 GB

Borderlands 3 on Nintendo Switch is set up so that all DLC can be installed individually, where you can choose what to add to your game. Now go out there and make some mayhem!

Oh snap, it may actually download fast enough for me to get a few minutes into it tonight.
Everything on cartridge?
Did they ever bother to fix the vending machines for co-op?
8.5gb is a miracle considering the size of the base game on pc/ps4
What time does the game release on eshop? My account is EST zone
This just got exciting
If I had to guess the base game will be on cart with DLC as optional downloads from the sound of it
Wow. Rarely do we have a case where the devs come out and speak out against rumors themselves.
Based though. From what gameplay I’ve seen, it really looks as if they’ve actually had to optimize BL3 to get rid of the performance issues seen on other systems. No wonder it’s got such a small size.
Has there been footage shown for this? I’d be cautious with this honestly.
I played the base game on PS4 but never played the DLC because it takes up way to much space to bother downloading. I might end up buying this version just to play the DLC.
I hope the audio isn’t too crunchy as a result
Dope. I wonder if not needing 4k textures like on pc helped scale it down.
23 is way better than the 100+ plus for xbox.
I been waiting for it to be purchasable I just want to play
FYI you can save space if you don’t download the language packs which is always nice to see. Hate when games gives me a bunch of languages without option to only use the ones I care about
Do we know if the game is limited to 2 player even during online multiplayer? That seemed to be implied from the store page and, while it makes sense for split screen, seems weird for online play.
So what’s exactly is on the cart?? Can I just insert and play without downloading anything??
Been playing this for a few hours now handheld only, and so far no problems. It holds up very well. As my first BL3 experience I am impressed, and excited
I mean at this point do many people even care for this game anymore?
Can’t wait to get my pre-order in 8 hours after work fml lol
It’s a good port, but I Hope that they add a 30fps cap, un capped frame rate make me sick.
I once wanted to buy some power tools. They cost 150$.
When I got home I told my wife I bought some tools that cost 400$. She freaked out and was super stressed. After 15 minutes of her being very upset, when she mentioned 400$, I said “did I say 400$? I meant they cost 150$.”
All of a sudden she she was not so upset and was fine with my purchase.
And, that is how I gaslit my wife into getting things that I want.
I like the switch but there is no way this game is playable on that console. It was barely playable to begin with. So laggy.
I spent the last half of the game begging my game to let me hear audio for more than 15 minutes. It would cut out and I’d just hear blips of voices every time dialogue came up.
You know- I did t realize I was gonna buy this game a third time. But I’m about to get in a 20 hour flight and I think it’s gonna a happen. Lots of respect for the execution on all fronts.
If only we could get this level of care for the product from… well most companies not named Nintendo.
