If you preload the game Miitopia, you will be able to play the game on the day of release from 12:00 AM on May 21, 2021. If you want to be the first on your block to get into the game, preloading is the way to go!

How to Preload

Step 2
Find Miitopia by searching via the search bar, or by going to the "Coming Soon" section.

The Coming Soon tab is sorted by the date of the game's release. Remember – Miitopia will be released on May 21, 2021, and once you've preloaded the game, it can be played from 12:00 AM on the day of release.

Step 2

Step 3 Enter the code from your Download Card. (The game will start downloading after entering the card details and confirming)

Preloading Requirements

Free up Space

Use Micro SD to Free up Space

When purchasing the digital version of the software, a large amount of space might be needed for you to be able to download it. If other software is squeezing the capacity, consider purchasing an SD card or try organizing your storage.

Storage Requirement

The storage requirement of the Miitopia is a total of 3.0 GB. Your Nintendo Switch has a built-in 32GB of space so if your memory is full, you might need to delete other game data, or prepare a microSD card to store more. Make sure your Nintendo Switch has enough memory space available for the game before preloading.
