Leaked GameStop SKUs Suggest Nintendo Switch 2 Will Support microSD Express Cards
Recent leaks point towards a significant upgrade for the Nintendo Switch 2's storage capabilities. Several GameStop stock keeping units (SKUs), allegedly for upcoming Switch 2 accessories, list "Switch 2 Exp Micro SD Card" options with capacities of 256GB and 512GB. This strongly suggests compatibility with the microSD Express standard.
This represents a substantial leap from the Nintendo Switch's UHS-I microSD card support. microSD Express offers dramatically improved transfer speeds and storage capacity.
Speed and Capacity Improvements:
The table below highlights the key differences:
| Feature | UHS-I | microSD Express |
|---|---|---|
| Transfer Speed | ~95 MB/s | ~985 MB/s |
| Max Capacity | 2TB | 128TB |
The leaked SKUs indicate a potential 900% increase in transfer speed compared to the Switch's current capabilities. The maximum capacity also sees a massive boost, jumping from 2TB to a potential 128TB. GameStop's internal pricing suggests a 256GB card will retail for $49.99, while a 512GB card is listed at $84.99.
Further leaked SKUs include a standard Switch 2 carrying case ($19.99) and two "deluxe" cases ($29.99). While these are likely unofficial accessories, their appearance reinforces the growing body of evidence suggesting an imminent Switch 2 release.
Nintendo has previously stated its intention to unveil the Switch 2 before the end of its fiscal year (March 31, 2025). The continued stream of leaks, including these GameStop SKUs, adds further weight to the anticipation surrounding the console's official announcement.
