IGN is highlighting a discounted 256GB officially licensed Nintendo Switch 2 memory card, made by Samsung, which briefly became available through retailer Woot for as little as $30.79 using a coupon code, though the deal has since sold out. The offer mattered because Switch 2 owners can only use MicroSD Express cards, a faster but pricier format than the standard MicroSD cards used by the original Switch, and many new games demand large amounts of storage beyond the console's built-in 256GB.

With the coupon code "SUPERSAVING" applied, the card's price fell from $59.99 to $35.19 for most shoppers, or $30.79 for first-time Woot customers, with free shipping for Amazon Prime members. The Samsung card offered read/write speeds of up to 800MB/s and 400MB/s respectively, and would have doubled the Switch 2's total storage. The article notes that space-hungry titles such as Final Fantasy 14 (117GB), Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade (90GB) and Split Fiction (70GB) can quickly exhaust the console's onboard capacity, and also flags a separate ongoing deal on a 512GB TeamGroup MicroSD Express card, discounted to $94.99 via Newegg's AliExpress storefront.
