It’s been just three days since Overwatch 2 fully released on Steam and the game already received over 25000 negative reviews from the fans at the time of writing this article. Amid these negative reviews, only 14% seemed to like the game, which is quite low for a company like Blizzard Entertainment. Fans complained about the game’s weak take on hero missions, bad free-to-play structure and many more. Now one Switch user brought the attention of the community by sharing his experience of Overwatch 2 on Nintendo’s Switch. On his Reddit profile, this person shared a post saying- “Overwatch 2 on the Switch is bigger than the Switch?s hard drive.”?

He further explained that he primarily couldn’t play the game, as it wasn’t updated. Later, when he tried to update his version, Switch couldn’t permit it due to the inability of storage spaces. Although he tried deleting other files, it couldn’t work. This is when he realized that Overwatch 2’s size is so big that even after cleaning the entire Switch storage, the game won’t play unless people use an SD card. However, this situation has left people spellbound thinking is the game stupidly bigger or Nintendo’s Switch really has an insufficient device to play modern games-“Is Overwatch 2 a stupidly advanced and large game or is the Switch?s hard drive just really insufficient?”
