DC Universe On Switch Gets Much Smaller

Very smol game.

DC Universe on the Switch is about to get much more manageable. In this week’s update, Dimensional Ink Games have dramatically reduced the size of the game’s client. Given the massive overhaul of the update, you’re going to need to basically reinstall the game from scratch.

As of today, the download required for DC Universe Online on Nintendo Switch is now substantially smaller (decreasing to about 16gb). Additionally, the game’s movies and motion comics will be removed from the initial download and made available separately in a free, optional Cinematics Pack DLC (about 2gb).

By comparison, DC Universe Online is currently about 25 gigs on the Switch. Substantial reduction indeed. For most people, your best be is probably just to uninstall the game and download the new client from the eShop. It may seem convoluted, but Nintendo’s infrastructure requires the entire new patch be downloaded before any changes can be done.

Positive: You’ll have plenty of additional space for Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
