When the Nintendo Switch 2 hits the shelves, it comes with a built-in 256GB of storage. However, you’ll want to be aware of the download sizes for upcoming games, as part of that storage is designated for system files. Expanding your storage might be a wise choice.
The Switch 2 uses a fresh standard for expandable storage known as microSD Express, offering significantly faster data reading and writing speeds.
At launch, both Samsung and SanDisk will provide licensed microSD Express cards specifically for the Nintendo Switch 2. These cards have been verified for compatibility, making them a reliable choice as you plan for additional storage.
Thanks to MondoMega’s efforts in compiling details from the Nintendo eShop in Australia, here’s a handy list of download sizes for the games available during the launch window of the Switch 2.
