SanDisk is back with another Nintendo Switch microSD card, and this one could put an end to your storage woes for good.
The best SD cards for the Switch are practically an essential purchase given the relatively small size of the Nintendo Switch’s 32GB built-in storage. But SanDisk’s latest officially licensed microSD card will add a whopping 1TB of space, perfect for storing space-intensive games like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Realm AND Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
Unfortunately, and perhaps understandably, this new microSD card doesn’t come cheap. At $129.99/£159.99 (around AU$195.99), you’re sure to get a better deal if you live in the US. However, if you constantly have to delete the best Nintendo Switch games to make room for more, I’d say it’s worth the investment. It also has a fun little Zelda logo.
You can pick up a 1TB microSD card for yourself Western Digital Online Store. The company also has a brand new 64GB Yoshi themed microSD card available for just $15.99 / £12.99 (around AU$24.99) if you’re looking to expand your storage capacity on a budget.
My kingdom for more storage space
The SanDisk brand has consistently released the best microSD cards for Nintendo Switch since the console’s launch in 2017. I would say its products are perfect if you tend to download and install a lot of games. If only because the Switch’s 32 GB of built-in memory is woefully low.
The Nintendo Switch OLED fares better with 64GB of storage, but you should still consider buying a microSD card as the console’s best games continue to grow.
Tears of the Kingdom reaches a size of about 16 GB. That doesn’t sound like much, but that’s half your memory gone if you’re only using basic Nintendo Switch hardware. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 it’s similarly large at 15GB, and that’s before installing any additional DLC. Bayonetta 3 AND Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, meanwhile you need 15GB and 16GB respectively, so there’s always an incentive to pop a microSD card into the Switch.
