Final Fantasy VII Rebirth listed 102.5 GB

Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is listed at 102.5 GB on Nintendo Switch 2 retail pages ahead of its June 3 release, putting an unusually large storage demand on Nintendo’s new handheld. Nintendo’s official product page confirms the game is coming to Switch 2 on June 3, 2026, while Amazon’s listing for the day-one edition says the title requires a “full game download via internet” and gives the size as 102.5 GB. That makes the listing notable for Switch 2 owners because Nintendo says the console has 256 GB of internal storage, with part of that reserved for the system. Nintendo also says Switch 2 uses microSD Express cards for expandable game storage, not the older microSD format used by the first Switch. (nintendo.com) ### Where does the 102.5 GB figure come from? Amazon’s U.S. product page for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on Nintendo Switch 2 includes the line “102.5 GB - Full game download via internet required” in the box contents and product details. The listing also identifies the release date as June 3, 2026 and describes the package as a Game-Key Card edition. (nintendo.com) Nintendo’s own U.S. store page for the game confirms the Switch 2 version and the June 3 release date, though the page excerpt surfaced in search results does not display the file size in the same snippet. Square Enix’s official game page also lists Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders and says digital pre-orders on the Nintendo eShop run through June 2, 2026. (amazon.com) ### Why is a Game-Key Card important here? Amazon’s listing says the physical edition is a “GAME-KEY CARD” and separately states that a full download is required. That means buyers of the boxed version should still expect to use internet bandwidth and console storage rather than relying on a complete game build stored on the card itself. (nintendo.com) Nintendo has used Game-Key Cards on Switch 2 releases where the card serves as the license key while the software is downloaded to the system. In Rebirth’s case, the retail listing ties that format directly to the 102.5 GB requirement. ### How much of a Switch 2 would that take up? (amazon.com) Nintendo says Switch 2 includes 256 GB of internal storage, and the company notes that a portion of that space is reserved for system use. On that basis, a 102.5 GB install would consume a substantial share of the console before save data, updates or other games are added. (amazon.com) Nintendo’s support pages also say only microSD Express cards can be used to save game data on Switch 2. Older microSD cards from the original Switch can be used to import screenshots and videos, but not to run or store Switch 2 games. (nintendo.com) ### Is this unusual for a Nintendo platform release? Final Fantasy VII Rebirth was already a large-scale release on other platforms, and Square Enix describes it as the second game in the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy, with expansive regions, side content and minigames. The Switch 2 listing shows that the port is arriving without being cut down to a small download footprint. (en-americas-support.nintendo.com) Nintendo’s official hardware specifications say the console supports microSD Express cards up to 2 TB, which gives users a path to expand storage if they plan to keep several large digital games installed. Nintendo’s official 256 GB Samsung microSD Express card is already listed on the company’s store. (square-enix.com) ### What happens next for players? June 2, 2026 is the last day of Square Enix’s stated eShop digital pre-order discount period for the Switch 2 version, according to the publisher’s official game page. June 3, 2026 is the listed release date on Nintendo’s store page and on Amazon’s retail listing. Nintendo’s store page says a demo is available for the Switch 2 version, and the game’s purchase pages are already live for digital orders and retail pre-orders.
