  • LEGO Horizon Adventures (Switch) – 5.9GB
  • LEGO Horizon Adventures (PC via Steam) – 30 GB

Although the file size of the LEGO Horizon Adventures appears on the game's Switch and Steam pages, the figure is missing from Horizons “home” platform, the PlayStation 5. This is because the PSN Store pages usually don't list file sizes. Given the relative similarities between the platforms, however, it's safe to assume that players who aspire to Horizon comic book heroine Aloy and her friends in their minifig forms on PS5 may need to clear around 30 gigabytes of space as well.


It is noteworthy that the Switch version of the LEGO Horizon Adventures is significantly smaller, clocking in at less than a third of the PC file size. Given the relatively underpowered hardware of the Switch compared to the PS5 and even lower-end gaming PCs, the small file size probably reflects the efforts made by the developers to squeeze games onto the handheld console. That said, developers Studio Gobo and Guerilla Games seem to have compressed the Switch version particularly well. For comparison with another major LEGO title as LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagaclocking in at around 40GB on PC, 36GB on PS5 and 15.8GB on Switch.

It will be interesting to see how LEGO Horizon Adventures do on Switch. Fixed Horizon is now a multi-platform franchise thanks to PlayStation-published versions on PC, Switch-exclusive players may not have any experience with the series given its lack of presence outside of PlayStation platforms. However, a successful debut could confirm the change in Sony's attitudes regarding Horizon and other exclusive franchises and games.
