Author : Aria Feb 02,2025

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

Recent leaks suggest the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 will boast a significant upgrade in storage technology, potentially supporting microSD Express cards. This revelation comes from several GameStop stock keeping units (SKUs) seemingly related to unannounced Switch 2 accessories. These SKUs, initially shared on Reddit, list "Switch 2 Exp Micro SD Card" products with capacities of 256GB and 512GB, strongly indicating microSD Express compatibility.

This upgrade represents a substantial leap forward from the current Switch's UHS-I microSD card support. microSD Express offers dramatically faster transfer speeds and significantly higher storage capacities.

Speed and Capacity Comparison: UHS-I vs. microSD Express

Feature	UHS-I	microSD Express
Transfer Speed	~95 MB/s	~985 MB/s
Maximum Capacity	2TB	128TB

The leaked GameStop pricing suggests a 256GB microSD Express card will retail for $49.99, while a 512GB card will cost $84.99. Additional SKUs for Switch 2 carrying cases were also discovered, further supporting the authenticity of the leak. While these accessories are likely unofficial, their existence reinforces the growing body of evidence pointing towards an imminent Switch 2 release.

Nintendo has previously stated its intention to unveil the Switch 2 before the end of its current fiscal year (March 31, 2025). The numerous leaks surrounding the console's hardware, including this latest microSD Express revelation, suggest an official announcement may be imminent. The Switch 2 is rumored to have entered mass production in late 2024, potentially as early as September.
