Where to buy the Nintendo Switch 2 Micro SD Card in the UK as pre-order closes
It's not just the Nintendo Switch 2 going on sale tomorrow.
The Nintendo Switch 2 may be on sale tomorrow but it's not the only thing. Nintendo's brand-new accessories like Micro Express SD cards will also be available to buy outright in line with the console.
These external storage cards are slightly different from previous versions. On the upside, they have 256GB worth of space and allow for faster data reading and writing speeds.
On the downside, old SD cards won't work with the Switch 2, which means you kind of have to buy one if you want the benefit of extra storage. That being said, the Switch 2 already comes with 256GB of internal storage, so you may not need to buy this straight away.
Right now, you can buy the Switch 2 Micro SD Express card from either Samsung or SanDisk, although there is little difference between them, and they're both the same price.
Below, we've broken down everything you need to know about this accessory including price and how to buy it in the UK.
