A new error message showing for Pokémon Unite players on Nintendo Switch consoles seems to be suggesting some problems with the game. Multiple gamers are experiencing the error, which shows the message “Insufficient Device Storage”.

The message is only showing for those on Nintendo Switch devices, and players on mobile are apparently able to play with no issues. While the error message may seem simple enough, players are taking to Twitter to explain that they in fact do have plenty of storage space when receiving this error. Some have even gone so far as to delete game data for other games, just to continue seeing the Pokémon Unite error anyway.
