<p>The Nintendo Direct Mini earlier this week revealed a lot of upcoming third-party titles for Switch. 2K, in particular, announced three of its major franchises were en route to the hybrid system. This had a lot of people buzzing until the <em>huge</em> download requirements for the physical versions were uncovered.</p>
<p>At the time of this announcement, a 2K press release said the total size of the <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/xcom_2_collection">XCOM 2: Collection</a></strong> would “not exceed 24 GB” and now a page listing for the upcoming release on the <a class="external" href="https://www.ebgames.ca/Switch/Games/787188/xcom-2-collection">EB Games Canada website</a> says a download of “at least 24 GB” will be required. <em>Slightly different wording, but hey – it still mentions 24 GB.</em></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Game requires download of at least 24 GB. microSD card recommended (sold separately). Storage requirements may change, visit xcom.com for details.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>As stated in the official PR, the XCOM Collection for Switch is being released on an 8 GB cartridge, containing two base missions – with the rest of the content requiring a download.</p>
