Samsung microSD Express Card 256GB for Nintendo Switch 2

Samsung microSD Express Card – 256GB for Nintendo Switch™ 2: Nintendo Switch 2 uses a new standard of expandable memory card called microSD Express (sold separately). This kind of memory card is needed for faster access speeds and to ensure games will run smoothly.

Nintendo Switch 2 only accepts microSD Express cards for game storage, so a regular microSD card from an older Switch will not work for Switch 2 games. This 256GB Samsung card is one of the cards sold for that purpose. Tip: check whether you need more space than 256GB before buying, since large downloads fill it fast.
