"If you're a Nintendo Switch 2 owner who mostly buys digital games as opposed to cartridges (like me!), its 256GB of internal storage will run out quickly. Buying a microSD Express card gives you more storage, though at a higher cost than most people likely want to pay. However, Lexar's 512GB and 1TB microSD Express cards are currently selling at the lowest prices we've seen yet."
"The 512GB model is $88.47 ($31 off) at Amazon, or double the extra storage to 1TB for $157.96 ($62 off), also at Amazon. That's only a little more expensive than a comparable cards from Onn, Walmart's house brand, but those are frequently out of stock (including at the time of publishing). In general, these are the best prices we've seen yet on this pricey storage."
"Here's another reason why you should consider buying one, especially while they're cheaper: several publishers are opting for Nintendo's Switch 2 Game-Key cards, which look like cartridges, but are effectively keys that unlock a download and authenticate your system to play it. So, even if you're buying a physical cartridge of a new game, you may need to rely on the extra storage space afforded by a microSD Express card to let you play it."
Nintendo Switch 2 includes 256GB internal storage that can be insufficient for players who mainly buy digital games. MicroSD Express cards provide additional space but typically cost more. Lexar's 512GB microSD Express is priced at $88.47 ($31 off) on Amazon, and the 1TB model is $157.96 ($62 off) on Amazon. Comparable Onn cards often match price but are frequently out of stock. Game sizes vary widely — Donkey Kong Bananza is 8.9GB while Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition requires 60.6GB. Switch 2 Game-Key cards unlock downloads, making extra storage necessary even for physical purchases.
