Metroid Prime 4: Beyond’s file size is four times larger than Metroid Prime Remastered

Japanese download cards that reached fans ahead of launch have revealed the file size of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond for the Nintendo Switch 2.

The box lists the game at 29 GB — more than four times the size of Metroid Prime Remastered (6.8 GB). Deku Deals reports the Switch build at 28.939 GB, while the Switch 2 version measures 31.623 GB.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is the tenth main installment in the series. Players assume the role of Samus Aran as she explores the planet Vyuros and faces the bounty hunter Silux. The game includes object scanning, new psychic powers that let Samus manipulate devices and redirect attacks, and the Vi-0-La motorcycle. Members of the Galactic Federation lend support during battles, and the Switch 2 Joy-Con controllers can be used like a mouse for finer aiming.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is scheduled to release on December 4, 2025.
