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 more information about the Switch 2 hardware. With the launch date approaching, preorders for essential accessories, such as microSD Express cards—the only storage cards compatible with the Switch 2—are now available.
GameStop is leading the charge with its own line of microSD Express cards, which you can preorder in various capacities. These cards are crucial for expanding your storage, especially since the Switch 2 comes with a base internal storage of 256GB, a significant upgrade from the original Switch's 32GB. If you're an avid gamer with a growing library, extra storage is a must-have.
