It doesn't.
After the update, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 reportedly sits at 91.3GB, just 6.4GB above the 84.9GB that Nintendo's eShop listed before launch.This would mean that the patch is more likely to be replacing current files than adding new files on top of existing ones.
Large downloads that completely overhaul the data of the game have been a regular part of Call of Duty titles for many years now.Modern Warfare 4 was released on October 23rd, following a week of early access available only in some game modes.
It is the first game in the series being released on Nintendo consoles in 13 years since Ghosts in 2013.The day one patch for the game came for Switch 2 on the very same day.
This seems to be specific to Nintendo’s console.Activision has published notes for update 1.111.000, a smaller patch released across all platforms.
It improves spawns and respawn timing on Hijack, fixes crashes and closes a Search and Destroy bomb-defuse exploit.
It also resolves DMZ problems with the Exfil helicopter, AI reinforcements and Active Duty Operators.There are no new maps, weapons or game modes.
Update sizes have not been provided by Activision for all the releases, so it's impossible to know whether the Switch 2 update and patches for other devices are one update.With an approximate size of 91GB, the shooter takes up slightly over one-third of the console's maximum possible 256GB.
However, some of that space goes to the system itself, so your available storage will be even less.However, you may add more storage using microSD Express cards, which are supported by Nintendo up to 2TB in size.
At present (October 2026), the largest possible card of 1TB in size sells at the price of over $300.2TB cards were once expected around mid-2027.
The memory shortage clouds that.
NAND supply is tight in part because of AI storage demand, though forecasts suggest relief in the second half of 2027.
