Leaked GameStop SKUs Suggest Nintendo Switch 2 Will Support microSD Express Cards

Recent leaks suggest the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 will offer significant storage improvements, potentially utilizing microSD Express cards. This information comes from GameStop SKUs seemingly related to unannounced Switch 2 accessories, initially shared by a Reddit user. These SKUs list "Switch 2 Exp Micro SD Card" options in 256GB and 512GB capacities, strongly hinting at microSD Express support.

The Switch 2's adoption of microSD Express represents a substantial upgrade from the current Switch's UHS-I standard. This newer technology promises a dramatic increase in transfer speeds and storage capacity.

Speed and Capacity Enhancements:

The current Switch's UHS-I cards offer transfer speeds around 95 MB/s, while microSD Express boasts speeds nearing 985 MB/s – a roughly 900% improvement. This speed boost is attributed to the microSD Express standard's use of the NVMe protocol, similar to high-performance SSDs. Capacity also sees a massive jump, from the 2TB limit of UHS-I cards to a potential 128TB with microSD Express.

Price and Availability:

Based on the leaked GameStop SKUs, the 256GB Switch 2 microSD Express card is listed at $49.99, and the 512GB variant at $84.99. Additional SKUs were also found for a standard carrying case ($19.99) and two "deluxe" cases ($29.99).

Timing and Official Announcements:

The leaks follow a pattern of increasing information about the Switch 2, with rumors suggesting mass production began in late 2024. Nintendo has previously stated it would unveil the console before the end of its fiscal year (March 31, 2025), leaving only a few months until a potential official announcement.

While these leaks are unofficial, they paint a compelling picture of a Switch 2 with significantly improved storage capabilities. Only time will tell if these predictions align with Nintendo's official reveal.
