News about SanDisk 512GB microSD for Switch 2 Hits Amazon

If you own a Nintendo Switch 2, you'll definitely want to consider grabbing a microSD Express Card for your console. Given the upgraded internal storage speed, the Switch 2 isn't compatible with standard microSD cards that worked on the original Switch, making this upgrade essential for expanded storage. Though not officially discounted, SanDisk has launched pre-orders for its 512GB microSD Express Card during Amazon Prime Day. Don't miss your chance to secure one before stocks run out.

For those who've been trying to get their hands on one of these microSD Express Cards, you're probably aware of how limited stock has been. Luxar has dominated the market so far, with its models selling out almost instantly whenever restocked on Amazon. I strongly advise locking in a pre-order for this SanDisk variant—there's no guarantee when the next 512GB option will become available.

While microSD Express Cards will inevitably drop in price over time, waiting isn't advisable unless absolutely necessary. The Nintendo Switch 2 comes with just 256GB of built-in storage—enough for Nintendo's first-party titles, but third-party games will fill that space alarmingly fast. Early adopters have already encountered massive files, like Split Fiction's 80GB+ footprint.

Now, I have mixed feelings about Game-Key Cards, but one undeniable drawback is their reliance on console storage space—even for supposedly "physical" versions. If you plan to keep more than four or five major third-party games installed digitally, investing in a microSD Express Card becomes mandatory.
