When the Nintendo Switch 2 launched nine months ago, the onboard 256GB storage felt underwhelming — especially for gamers with large libraries or extensive screenshots. Thankfully, brands like PNY are stepping in with high-capacity solutions.
PNY’s latest 1TB Switch 2 microSD Express Card provides a massive storage boost at a reasonable price. While Nintendo’s official 256GB SD cards only double the base storage, PNY delivers 1TB of extra space with blistering speeds: 890MB/s read and 850MB/s write, ensuring digital games run without delays.
At $199.99, it’s also $20 cheaper than other 1TB cards on the market, including Lexar’s $219.99 offering and Gigastone’s $349.99 model. The card easily handled transferring 2,700+ screenshots and clips in just 33 seconds, and now serves as the default location for all game captures.
This card solves the Switch 2’s storage woes for large games like Fortnite (43.9GB) and Mario Kart World (21.9GB), allowing gamers to install their full libraries and keep capturing gameplay without fear of hitting limits.
If 1TB feels like overkill, PNY and competitors still offer cheaper options:
-
128GB PNY microSD Express Card – $45.99
-
256GB Samsung microSD Express Card – $59
-
512GB SanDisk microSD Express Card – $99.99
For anyone frustrated with the Switch 2’s limited storage, PNY’s 1TB card is an easy recommendation — fast, spacious, and wallet-friendly.
