SanDisk 512GB microSD for Switch 2 Hits Amazon

If you own a Nintendo Switch 2, you'll likely want to grab a microSD Express Card for expanded storage. With faster internal speeds than its predecessor, the Switch 2 isn't compatible with standard microSD cards - meaning upgrading is essential for extra space. Though not discounted, SanDisk has launched Prime Day pre-orders for its 512GB microSD Express Card. If you haven't secured one yet, now's your chance before stock runs out.

The SanDisk 512GB microSD Express Card for Switch 2, Now Available on Amazon

Demand for microSD Express Cards has outstripped supply recently. Luxar-branded cards currently dominate the market, disappearing from Amazon's shelves within minutes whenever restocked. I strongly recommend pre-ordering this SanDisk version immediately - there's no guarantee when another 512GB model will become available.

While prices will inevitably decrease over time, delaying your purchase isn't advisable unless absolutely necessary. The Switch 2's 256GB built-in storage may suffice for Nintendo titles, but third-party games will quickly consume space. We've already seen titles like Split Fiction exceed 80GB just among early releases.

Though opinions vary about Game-Key Cards, one undeniable drawback is their requirement for console storage space even when playing "physical" copies. Digital collectors planning to keep more than four or five major third-party titles installed will need a microSD Express Card.
