The Best Nintendo Switch Micro SDXC Memory Card Deals: Get 512GB of Storage for Only $39.99
If you’ve started compiling a collection of digital games, you probably already know just how limited the Switch’s base storage capacity. The Switch and Switch OLED have 32GB and 64GB of internal storage respectively. Some of that is reserved for the OS. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which is out on May 12, takes up over 18GB of storage all by itself. Other must-have titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Pokemon Sword or Shield tap out at 13.5GB each. There’s only one expansion slot in the Switch console so you want to make sure you get the biggest card you can afford.
Nintendo Switch Micro SDXC Memory Cards from $40
These cards are all 100% compatible with any Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED, and Switch Lite console. Some, like the Samsung EVO Select and Samsung EVO Plus are actually rated for higher speeds than the official Nintendo Switch branded memory card. That doesn’t really matter though; the Nintendo Switch can only support U1 speeds, so a U3 speed will just be throttled back down to U1 speeds.
Steam Deck Owners Can Use These Cards Too!
The Switch isn’t the only gaming system that accepts these cards. If you’re a Steam Deck owner, you can also use this card, especially if you picked up the 64GB storage option.
