: The base game alone requires approximately 10.3GB of space. Updates and DLCs increase this requirement significantly.

: A format derived from physical game cartridges. High-quality archival versions often "merge" or "super-trim" the base game, the 1.3.2 update, and both DLCs into a single XCI file using tools like NSC Builder for streamlined installation. 4. Installation and Requirements

The DLC for Pokémon Sword is delivered via a single "Expansion Pass" that includes two major content drops. When combined with Update 1.3.2, these areas are fully optimized:

: The standard format for digital eShop content. Base games, updates (like 1.3.2), and DLCs are typically found as separate NSP files.

: Adds a new wild area, the "Armor Station," the legendary Pokémon Kubfu, and "Max Soup" for Gigantamaxing.
