| Doom (Switch)

If you're like me and are sitting on the edge of your seat to see how DOOM actually performs on the day, you'll be thrilled to know that the game will be nowhere near as gobbling as its other 50 GB counterparts.

Aside from the evident size of the game to fit it onto a physical cartridge (under 32 GB), according to Nintendo Today the digital download of the game will be just over 13 GB which is really quite amazing. You'll need 13.4 GB of free space, to be exact.

However, if you want to download its multiplayer you'll need an extra 9 GB of space, plus whatever bug fixes/patches it brings out as well - though these won't be extortionate.

DOOM arrives on the Nintendo Switch on November 10th for £49.99/$59.99.
