Samsung’s discounted microSD Express card more than doubles your Switch 2 storage

If you buy digital games for the Nintendo Switch 2, Samsung’s P9 microSD Express card offers an easier way to expand your storage without constantly deleting games to make room. It’s cheaper than other microSD cards, and it’s an even better value right now, with the 512GB version priced at $79.99 ($40 off) — just $5 shy of its best price to date. You can alternatively buy the 256GB model for $39.99 ($15 off) at Amazon.

While the Switch 2’s 256GB internal storage is enough for most first-party Nintendo games, just one or two large downloads can quickly eat up space. Cyberpunk 2077, for example, takes up 59GB, while Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on Switch 2 is a 93GB download — meaning that buying both would use up over half of the console’s internal storage. Many third-party games eat up dozens of gigabytes each as well, which means it’s only a matter of time before that 256GB fills up.

That’s what makes Samsung’s P9 a smart investment. It gives you the flexibility to grow your digital library, and it’s built to handle the Switch 2’s faster storage speeds — so you can add games without noticeably affecting performance. All in all, it’s a great buy if you want to avoid running out of space as your Switch 2 library grows. And as a bonus, you can also use it with other compatible devices — including some cameras, tablets, and drones that support microSD cards.
