Excitement is building as the Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch on June 5! A recent Nintendo Direct not only showcased new games for the eagerly awaited console but also provided more details on the Switch 2's hardware. One key aspect revealed is that the console will only support microSD Express cards for additional storage. With the announcement, preorders for these essential storage solutions are now open.
GameStop has stepped up to meet the demand with their own line of microSD Express cards, available in various capacities to suit different needs. These cards are crucial for expanding your storage, especially since the Switch 2 comes with a generous 256GB of internal storage—far more than the original Switch's 32GB. However, if you're a collector with an ever-growing library of Switch games, additional storage can be a game-changer.
