Splatoon Raiders file size confirmed: 13.1GB on eShop
Nintendo's eShop listing for Splatoon Raiders now includes an official download size, giving players clearer preparation time ahead of the game's launch.
Splatoon Raiders is presented as the latest entry in the Splatoon franchise, which is developed by Nintendo EPD and has been a flagship third-person shooter series for Nintendo since its debut.
The franchise established itself on the Wii U and has continued on Nintendo Switch hardware.
According to the store page, Splatoon Raiders will require 13.1GB of free space for a digital installation.
Reporting on that information in journalistic form: the Nintendo eShop listing indicates the game's file size is 13.1GB, allowing Switch owners to plan storage management before purchase.
The storefront entry also lists a launch window that corresponds to this coming Thursday.
Rewriting that announcement in plain terms: the eShop entry states the title is scheduled to arrive on Thursday, and the publisher has provided the download size alongside the release details.
The listing further references the platform name shown in the store.
What this means for players
A 13.1GB footprint places Splatoon Raiders in the mid-range for modern Switch downloads—larger than many indie releases but relatively modest compared with major AAA ports.
Players with limited internal storage should consider clearing space or using a microSD card prior to the digital release.
Nintendo's eShop routinely provides file-size data like this so buyers can make informed decisions before purchase.
Context and developer track record
The Splatoon series, produced by Nintendo EPD, has been a commercially significant franchise for Nintendo and a staple of its online and competitive offerings.
Nintendo often communicates major release details for its flagship series via Nintendo Direct presentations and eShop listings; distribution through the Nintendo eShop remains the primary digital channel for Switch owners.
Our review and next steps
We will publish a full review of Splatoon Raiders once we have hands-on time with the final release build.
In the meantime, the eShop's 13.1GB figure is the best-available, vendor-provided guidance for players preparing for the game's arrival.
Keep an eye on official Nintendo channels and the eShop for any last-minute updates or patches ahead of launch.
