Walmart Has the Best Deal on 512GB Switch 2 Memory Cards Right Now
Walmart is selling the 512GB SanDisk GamePlay microSD Express card for Nintendo Switch 2 at $98, down from $149.99, according to IGN. The deal matters because the console’s 256GB internal storage can fill quickly with large digital games, and Switch 2 requires the newer microSD Express format for game storage.
Several major games are cited as taking between roughly 44GB and 100GB, making additional capacity useful for players with larger digital libraries. The article also notes a $399.99 Grade A refurbished Switch 2 offer at Woot, with a 90-day limited warranty, ahead of a reported Nintendo price increase in September.
In short
- Walmart’s 512GB Switch 2 storage card is $98.
- Switch 2 games require microSD Express cards.
- Woot offers a refurbished Switch 2 for $399.99.
Explained simply
Nintendo’s Switch 2 is a games console with 256GB of built-in storage. Digital games are saved on the console, and some take up tens of gigabytes, so players with several large games may run short of space.
Extra storage comes from a microSD Express card, a newer type of memory card required by the Switch 2 for storing games. SanDisk makes cards in this format, including a 512GB model. The amount of storage and the card’s price may matter to players choosing between buying games digitally or keeping a larger library installed.
