Author:Kristen Update:May 12,2025

It's official: The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch on June 5, following an exciting Nintendo Direct that unveiled new games and detailed the upcoming console's hardware. Alongside this announcement, preorders for microSD Express cards, the only storage cards compatible with the Switch 2, have begun to appear. These cards are essential for those looking to expand their storage beyond the console's built-in 256GB.

With the demand for these cards soaring, many have already sold out. However, GameStop has stepped up by offering its own line of microSD Express cards available for preorder. These cards range 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 on these essential storage solutions, keep an eye on our microSD Express card hub page for updates on restocking.

Given the rapid disappearance of microSD Express cards from online retailers, it's crucial to act quickly if you want to secure a storage upgrade before the Switch 2's launch. While the Switch 2 comes with a generous 256GB of internal storage—significantly more than the original Switch's 32GB—gamers with extensive libraries may still need additional space.
