Release Date | November 18, 2022 |
Players who have purchased Pokemon Scarlet and Violet early can now preload the game starting on November 11, 2022, a week prior to its release date.
Preorder Bonuses and How to Preorder
Preloading Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will let you play the game immediately at 12 midnight of the day of its release! If you've been eagerly awaiting your new journey to the Paldea region, preloading is the way to go!
When you start playing the game during its midnight release, you may come across an error that tells you that you cannot play the software yet. You may need to wait for a few minutes before starting the game to fix this.
Step 1 | Select the Nintendo eShop on your Nintendo Switch home page. |
---|---|
Step 2 | Find Pokemon Scarlet and Violet by searching via the search bar, or by going to the "Coming Soon" section. |
Step 3 | Select the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet full version. |
Step 4 | Select Proceed to Purchase. (Download will start after confirming the purchase) |
File Size | 6.38 GB |
---|
Make sure your Switch has enough memory space available for the game before preloading. If your memory is near full, you might need to delete other game data, or prepare a microSD card to store more.
Game | Required Space |
---|---|
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate | 16GB or more |
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild | 13.4GB |
Pokemon Sword and Shield | 10.3GB |
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe | 6.8GB |
Super Mario Odyssey | 5.7GB |
The following games in the above table use about 26GB of file size. When installed in the Switch's internal memory, this leaves the console with at least 6GB of free space. Note that this does not include the space reserved for use by the console, so the actual free space may be lower.
If your Switch does not have free space to download the digital version of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, consider purchasing a MicroSD card to increase its capacity.
When purchasing a MicroSD card, be sure to choose one that is compatible with the Nintedo Switch.
