The Samsung MicroSD Express Card is an officially licensed 256GB storage card for Nintendo Switch 2 and is up for sale at multiple major retailers like Walmart. We anticipate that anyone who places a preorder for the Nintendo Switch 2 will find this to be a popular add-on, especially because there aren’t many microSD Express Cards available right now. You will have twice as much storage space on Switch 2 with the $60 card. Since Nintendo disclosed that the Switch 2’s reader is only compatible with the fast microSD Express format, Amazon has found it difficult to keep up with the growing interest in this new technology.
The 256GB SSD is four times larger than the Switch OLED’s 64GB and 8 times the size of the original Lite, which is 32GB. However, future games will undoubtedly have larger files due to the Switch 2’s speed improvements, which may force you to add one of the incredibly quick microSD Express Cards to your console’s storage.
The express format from Samsung is the latest technological advancement in the semiconductor industry, and this new tech is not widely adopted by manufacturers. This year will see the arrival of officially licensed microSD Express Cards featuring Super Mario themes from SanDisk and Samsung. The SanDisk version has not yet been listed.
The maximum capacity of the incoming licensed variants is now 256GB, but if you’re concerned about future-proofing your Switch 2 storage space, you can get 512GB and 1TB alternatives elsewhere. We’ve compiled a short list and explanation of the microSD Express alternatives that are now offered by SanDisk and Lexar, as well as the future devices from GameStop and Samsung.
