These cards will release on June 5, alongside the console. You can secure your preorder below, and to track restocks of other cards, bookmark our microSD Express hub page.

MicroSD Express cards are disappearing rapidly from online stores. If you want to upgrade your storage before the Switch 2 launch, be sure to preorder quickly. For reference, the Switch 2 includes 256GB of internal storage—a significant increase over the original Switch’s 32GB. If your game library keeps growing, expanding your storage is always a smart move.
