Kingdom Hearts Collection [I~III] Switch 2: eShop Storage Requirements and Release Details

Kingdom Hearts Collection [I~III] arrives on Switch 2 with large eShop install sizes and split-app releases

Square Enix is bringing the Kingdom Hearts Collection [I~III] to Nintendo's next-gen platform commonly listed as Switch 2, and the publisher's eShop listing confirms substantial local storage requirements.

The compilation will be offered as a native, non-cloud release and will be split across three separate apps, allowing players to purchase individual entries or install the entire collection at once.

Background and platform context

Kingdom Hearts is a long-running action-RPG series from Square Enix that launched in 2002 on PlayStation 2 and has since appeared on multiple platforms.

The new Switch 2 release packages core remasters—HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX and HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue—alongside Kingdom Hearts 3 and its Re Mind expansion.

Square Enix has positioned the release as a local, native experience for the platform rather than a cloud-only offering.

eShop install sizes and storage guidance

According to the Switch 2 eShop listing, the complete Kingdom Hearts Collection [I~III] will require 131GB of storage if players choose to install everything in one go.

Individual app download sizes listed on the eShop are:

- Kingdom Hearts -HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX: 54.1GB

- Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue: 26.8GB

- Kingdom Hearts 3 + Re Mind: 45.2GB

Those three separate sizes add up to 126.1GB, which differs from the 131GB total when purchasing the full collection in a single bundle.

Buyers should plan for the higher number and ensure at least 130GB of free space on their Switch 2 system to avoid installation issues.

Fan reaction and publisher activity

Many fans have welcomed the decision to offer a native download rather than relying on cloud streaming, valuing the ability to run the games locally on Nintendo hardware.

Square Enix has also marked Kingdom Hearts' milestone with a 25th anniversary video released by the company to celebrate the series' longevity.

What to expect next

Square Enix has scheduled the release window for October, according to the eShop listing.

Exact regional release dates and any day-one patches will be listed by the publisher on the official eShop pages and Square Enix channels.

Prospective buyers should verify available storage on their Switch 2 systems and consider individual app purchases if they only intend to play specific entries in the collection.
