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

Recent leaks suggest the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 will boast significantly improved storage capabilities thanks to support for microSD Express cards. This information comes from several GameStop stock keeping units (SKUs) seemingly related to unreleased Switch 2 accessories. These SKUs, initially shared on Reddit, list "Switch 2 Exp Micro SD Card" options in 256GB and 512GB capacities.

The implication is a major upgrade from the current Switch's UHS-I microSD card support. This upgrade promises a substantial performance boost and increased storage potential.

A Quantum Leap in Transfer Speeds and Capacity

The Switch's UHS-I standard offers theoretical maximum transfer speeds around 104 MB/s, realistically reaching approximately 95 MB/s. In contrast, microSD Express, leveraging the NVMe protocol (similar to high-speed SSDs), boasts speeds nearing 985 MB/s – a staggering 900% increase.

The capacity difference is equally impressive. While UHS-I cards max out at 2TB, microSD Express cards can reach up to 128TB – a 6400% improvement. The leaked GameStop SKUs price the 256GB Switch 2 microSD Express cards at $49.99 and the 512GB option at $84.99.

Further Leaks and Nintendo's Timeline

Beyond the microSD cards, the leak also revealed SKUs for a standard Switch 2 carrying case ($19.99) and two "deluxe" cases ($29.99). These unofficial accessory leaks align with a pattern of information surfacing online for months. Nintendo has previously stated its intention to officially unveil the Switch 2 before the end of its current fiscal year (March 31, 2025), leaving only a few months for the official announcement.

Comparison Table: UHS-I vs. microSD Express

The leaked information strongly suggests the Switch 2 will offer a significant upgrade in storage technology, promising faster load times and the ability to store significantly more games and data.
