Club Benefits
The Nintendo Switch 2 comes with 256GB of storage built-in. That might sound like a lot (especially considering the original Nintendo Switch shipped with just 32GB storage,) but those digital game downloads stack up fast and eat up a ton of space.
There's a simple way to add more storage space to your console, and that's with a microSD Express Card. Samsung's 256GB card is currently on sale with $10 off, and it'll double your Nintendo Switch 2's storage! All that storage for less than the cost of a new Nintendo Switch 2 game like Mario Kart World isn't bad.
Video game file sizes just continue to get bigger, so the Nintendo Switch 2's default storage of 256GB really isn't a lot to work with. For example, I've been wanting to pick up the gritty action RPG Cyberpunk 2077 since it launched on Nintendo Switch 2, but it takes up a hefty 60.6 GB — with everything that's already stored on my console, I simply don't have enough space. That's when a microSD Express card comes in to save the day.
In addition to game downloads, you'll also need space on your console for save data, screenshots and videos. Basically, a microSD Express card is one of those essential accessories that I recommend every Nintendo Switch 2 owner get. (And you need a microSD Express card specifically, as a regular microSD unfortunately won't work with the Nintendo Switch 2.)
And while you'll be paying for the privilege of more space, this is also a sneaky way to save money on video games in the long run. Digital game sales are generally a lot cheaper than buying physical copies, especially during big sales events. So you'll want to make sure you have room for all those great titles once Black Friday comes around.
