Interactive Entertainment; Octopath Traveler and Octopath Traveler 2 were developed with involvement from Acquire and published by Square Enix, with Octopath Traveler 2 releasing on Nintendo Switch in February 2023. The original Minecraft Dungeons was developed by Mojang Studios. These historical facts help frame why file sizes for legacy and remastered titles (for example, definitive editions and remasters) can be substantially larger than new indie releases. Why file sizes matter For developers and players on Nintendo Switch and future Switch 2 hardware, reported file sizes impact cartridge logistics, day-one patch planning, and consumer storage needs on the console and microSD cards. Publishers typically publish exact sizes on eShop pages to give buyers accurate expectations for downloads and updates.
