It's official: The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch on June 5, and excitement is building after a detailed Nintendo Direct that showcased new games and provided insights into the Switch 2's hardware. As the launch date approaches, preorders for essential accessories, such as microSD Express cards, are now available. These cards are the only compatible storage solution for the Switch 2, making them a must-have for gamers looking to expand their storage capacity.

With the high demand for these cards, many have already sold out. However, GameStop has stepped up by offering its own line of microSD Express cards for preorder, available in capacities ranging from 256GB ($49.99) to 512GB ($84.99) to 1TB ($149.99). These cards are scheduled to release on the same day as the console, June 5. To ensure you don't miss out, you can preorder these cards directly from GameStop.

Given the rapid sell-out of microSD Express cards from online retailers, securing a storage upgrade before the Switch 2's release is crucial. While the Switch 2 comes with 256GB of internal storage—a significant upgrade from the original Switch's 32GB—gamers with extensive libraries may still benefit from additional space.
