GameStop Has MicroSD Express Cards Up for Preorder, Just in Time for the Switch 2

Quite a few of these cards have already started to sell out, but there's a shining light at the end of the tunnel coming from GameStop. The retailer has created its own line of microSD Express cards that are available to preorder and come in varying capacities, from 256GB ($49.99) to 512GB ($84.99) to 1TB ($149.99). These are set to release on June 5, the same day as the console. You can preorder these cards below, but to stay up to date on more cards as they come back in stock keep our hub page for microSD Express cards bookmarked.

The microSD Express cards have been disappearing fast from online retailers, so if you've been hoping to secure a storage upgrade ahead of the Switch 2's release you'll want to be quick to get your preorders in. If you're unsure if you'll need the extra space, it's worth noting that the Switch 2 is set to come with 256GB of internal storage, which is quite a bit more than the original Switch's 32GB. If you have an ever-expanding library of Switch games, it's always worth it to pick up some extra storage.

Outside of the additional storage, if you're curious when preorders will pop up for the console itself, make sure to mark your calendar for April 9. It's worth keeping our Switch 2 preorder guide bookmarked as well so you can stay up to date on when it drops and where it's available to purchase on the day. We've also put together a list full of tips to help increase your chances of getting a Switch 2. The countdown has begun, and we're here to help you secure a Switch 2 on day one.
