The officially licensed Samsung microSD Express Card for Nintendo Switch 2 is back in stock at multiple retailers, including Best Buy and Target. The Switch 2 is only compatible with Express cards, and since it’s a newer technology, there aren’t very many options in stores at the moment–and most of them are sold out. Samsung’s 256GB Nintendo-themed card costs $60 and releases alongside the Switch 2 on June 5. Outside of this card, the only other option that’s currently in stock is SanDisk’s microSD Express Card in 128GB ($50) and 256GB ($72) capacities.

The Nintendo Switch 2 offers a fairly massive upgrade when it comes to raw storage space. The 256GB onboard SSD is four times larger than the Switch OLED (64GB) and eight times the size of the original Switch and Switch Lite (32GB). That said, the Switch 2’s performance upgrades will inevitably lead to bigger file sizes for upcoming games, which could compel you to expand your console’s storage capacity with one of the ultra-fast microSD Express Cards.
