GameStop Preorders MicroSD Express Cards for Switch 2 Launch

It's official: The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch on June 5, and excitement is building following an extensive Nintendo Direct that unveiled new games and detailed the Switch 2 hardware. As part of the preparations, microSD Express cards, the only compatible storage solution for the new console, are now available for preorder.

GameStop has stepped up to meet the demand by offering its own line of microSD Express cards in various capacities, which are already selling out quickly. Here's a closer look at the options available for preorder:

GameStop 256GB Express MicroSD Card

$47.49 for GameStop Pro Members.
$49.99 at GameStop

GameStop 512GB Express MicroSD Card

$80.74 for GameStop Pro Members.
$84.99 at GameStop

GameStop 1TB Express MicroSD Card

$142.49 for GameStop Pro Members.
$149.99 at GameStop

These cards will be released on June 5, the same day as the Switch 2, so securing your preorder now is essential. If you're interested in more options as they become available, be sure to keep our microSD Express cards hub page bookmarked for updates.

With the rapid sell-out of microSD Express cards across online retailers, acting quickly to secure your storage upgrade before the Switch 2's release is crucial. While the Switch 2 comes with 256GB of internal storage—significantly more than the original Switch's 32GB—gamers with an expansive library may find additional storage beneficial.
