L.A. Noire on Nintendo Switch Storage Requirements

Last Updated: June 13, 2023

Question: What are the storage requirements for playing L.A. Noire on the Nintendo Switch console?

Answer: Depending on whether you are playing from a cartridge or digital download, the storage requirements differ slightly. 

Regardless of the installation method, any microSD card used for game storage must have a read speed of at least 60 MB/sec.

Physical / Cartridge Installation

If using the physical cartridge version of L.A. Noire, the game will require a 14 GB digital download containing required gameplay data as well as general bug fixes and improvements.  This file can be downloaded to either the Nintendo Switch console’s internal storage or a microSD card (sold separately).

Digital / eShop Installation

The Nintendo eShop digital version of L.A. Noire, including all bug fixes and improvements, requires 28 GB of available storage.  Because this exceeds the available internal storage on the console, the eShop version of the game must be installed to a microSD card (sold separately) that is inserted prior beginning the download.
