Unlike the original Switch, the Nintendo Switch 2<\/a> requires microSD Express cards for storing and playing games. While physically identical to microSD cards (aside from a small, easy-to-miss \u201cEX\u201d emblem etched onto the front of the card, as highlighted in the main image above), microSD Express cards are significantly <\/em>faster. They advertise a 4.4x increase in transfer speeds over regular microSD cards.<\/p>\n

That speed boost is necessary for loading Switch 2 games that have more detailed textures and larger worlds than those that are possible on the original Switch. You may not need to buy one immediately, however, unless you foresee quickly using up the Switch 2\u2019s built-in 256GB SSD.<\/p>\n

If you do want a microSD Express card, there are many options available. Yet, all of them boast the same speed and performance. I suggest getting the most affordable microSD Express card you can find and buying it from a brand you trust, just in case anything goes wrong with it while the warranty is still valid.<\/p>\n

While microSD Express cards were initially very expensive \u2014 costing nearly $200 for 1TB of extra storage \u2014 prices have come down a bit for certain storage amounts. What\u2019s more, deals occasionally drop the price of the 256GB and 512GB models below the price of some games ($35 for 256GB and $75 for 512GB are among the lowest prices we\u2019ve seen on Amazon). The Switch 2 supports microSD Express cards up to 2TB in size, although 1TB is the largest capacity available, with some cards selling for up to $200 a pop. Walmart\u2019s Onn model is a beacon of light even when there are no deals, as the regular cost for its 512GB model is around $84<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in the market for one of these storage expansion cards, we\u2019ve listed the available options below.<\/p>\n
