Getting some extra storage for your Switch 2 doesn't have to cost you a fortune (particularly with tech costs climbing). If you've been looking to expand the library of your favorite Nintendo handheld, Amazon's dropped some solid deals on a PNY 256GB microSD Express card and a SanDisk 256GB microSD express card.
The PNY card has been marked down to $49.99 (originally $54.99, so 9% off), while the SanDisk has hit $58.99 (from $74.19, 20% off). For the latter, this even marks its lowest price yet, per price tracker camelcamelcamel, so it's a perfect time to grab it.
And while it's not at its lowest-ever price point, the PNY card is incredibly close. According to camelcamelcamel, it's hit as low as $48 before, so this is just over a dollar more. That's certainly still worth grabbing, if you ask me.
In terms of speeds, the PNY card boasts up to 890MB/s read and up to 750MB/s write speeds, according to the store page. The SanDisk card, on the other hand, offers up to 880MB/s read speeds and up to 650MB/s write.
It's also worth mentioning that the SanDisk card is one of our favorite microSD Express cards for Nintendo Switch 2. In particular, it's our pick for the 'Best 256GB MicroSD Express Card'. In our roundup, IGN's Jacqueline Thomas writes that this card, "would mirror the internal storage of the Nintendo Switch 2." So it's a solid pick if you're not looking to go overboard with new games.
If you're curious what games are worth adding to your Switch 2 library after you pick up some extra storage, make sure to have a look at our rundown of upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 games.
