As the demand for these cards soars, many have already sold out. However, GameStop has stepped up, offering its own line of microSD Express cards for preorder. These cards are available in capacities ranging from 256GB ($49.99) to 512GB ($84.99) to 1TB ($149.99), and they are set to release on the same day as the console, June 5. To ensure you don't miss out, you can preorder these cards directly from GameStop. For the latest updates on stock availability, keep our microSD Express cards hub page bookmarked.
Given the rapid sell-out of these cards across online retailers, securing a storage upgrade before the Switch 2's release is crucial. While the Switch 2 comes with a generous 256GB of internal storage—significantly more than the original Switch's 32GB—gamers with expansive libraries will find additional storage invaluable.
