• Nintendo Switch 2 has 256 GB Internal Storage
• The console still supports expandable storage but you will need to use a MicroSD Express card to run games
• These cards offer faster speeds but are more expensive

Nintendo Switch 2 has a lot to do with it – a more powerful CPU to enable even more impressive games, better sound from improved speakers and yes, a larger 7.9 inch screen. But can we give a round of applause to Nintendo to increase internal storage to 256 GB?

It’s a big jump – eight times what the original Nintendo Switch offered – and that should mean you have a lot of room for games and apps. Of course, there is expandable storage. However, not all roses are in that regard … especially if you have invested in a lot of standard microSD cards for your current switch and want to make upgrade.

Why? Nintendo Switch 2 still supports expandable storage, but it only works with MicroSD Express cards. It is an important distinction as non-standard microscort does not carry the properties of ‘Express’. However, these higher-end microSD cards offer faster speeds that are more at the level of SSDs (Solid-State Drive).

This feature along with the improved performance should create a more fluid experience when reading or writing on the MicroSD Express card. You need a MicroSD Express card for use with Switch 2 to save a game or open one. However, As per this support pageCan you connect a Standard MicroSD card to view photos or screenshots.
