Would you buy extra storage for your console this holiday season?
Walmart, Costco, and Amazon now sell 512GB microSD Express cards for under $100, giving Nintendo Switch 2 owners a way to expand storage beyond the console's 256GB of internal memory. The move comes as the console's internal space often falls short for large games.
Why it matters
Several Switch 2 titles require far more space than the console's internal storage can hold. Affordable expansion cards give U.S. players a practical way to keep large libraries installed without deleting games.
Walmart sells its microSDXC Express card for $84.77, Costco sells a Sandisk 512GB card for $89.99, and Amazon sells a Samsung P9 card for $99.99, each offering 512GB against the Switch 2's 256GB of internal storage. The duration of these price points has not been announced.
The players
Nintendo
Nintendo is the Japanese video game company that makes the Switch 2 console and publishes its first-party titles, including the Zelda series.
Walmart
Walmart is a large American retail chain that sells consumer electronics and its own microSDXC Express card for the Switch 2.
Costco
Costco is a membership-based warehouse retailer that sells a Sandisk 512GB microSD Express card to its members.
Amazon
Amazon is the online retail giant that sells a Samsung P9 microSD Express card and offers free shipping to Prime members.
The details
Walmart's card ships free and is eligible for delivery for Walmart+ subscribers, Costco offers free delivery for members, and Amazon provides free shipping for Prime users. Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade (90.4GB) and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth (91.5GB) illustrate how quickly large titles consume the console's internal memory.
Timeline
Nov. 5, 2026: Target and Best Buy begin restocking the Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 bundle.
Nov. 17, 2026: The sale on Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade and Rebirth ends.
Roadmap
The 256GB internal storage of the Nintendo Switch 2 is the baseline against which these 512GB microSD Express cards now measure, and the gap widens as titles like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth exceed 90GB each. Retailers are positioning expansion storage as a near-standard add-on for the console.
Switch 2 owners with large libraries can add 512GB of storage for under $100 at Walmart, Costco, or Amazon, with free shipping or delivery options tied to membership or Prime status. The price difference among the three retailers is roughly $15, so comparing membership benefits may matter more than the card price alone.
The takeaway
Before buying a storage card, check the file sizes of the games you plan to install, since a single large title can exceed 90GB. Comparing shipping and membership perks across retailers can save more than shopping on the sticker price alone.
What happens next
Target and Best Buy restock the Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 bundle beginning November 5, and the Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth sale ends November 17.
