The Nintendo Switch 2 has launched with limited external storage options, only supporting microSD Express cards, incompatible with standard microSD cards from the original Switch. While the internal storage capacity is below 256GB, which can manage a few games, users needing to store more will have to invest in the specific microSD Express cards. Initial installation involves inserting the card into a designated slot and updating the system. There is speculation about future support for external hard drives, mirroring past practices with Nintendo consoles.
The only external storage you can use with the Switch 2 is a microSD Express card. These are not the same as standard microSD cards, and your Switch 2 will not recognize the microSD card you used for your original Switch.
Once you have your compatible card, pull the Switch 2's kickstand out. On the left is a small slot for microSD Express cards. Insert it so the text on the top of the card is facing out.
