The Nintendo Switch 2 requires a microSD Express card for game storage. A regular UHS-I microSD card will not work for Switch 2 games, so the Express marking is the one spec that matters. Capacities run up to 2TB. Because these cards are small and pricey, we show the absolute price and the price per gigabyte side by side, so you can see real value rather than just the sticker. This table lists only genuine microSD Express cards on Amazon.ca, ranked by price per gigabyte.
