We've tested out the best microSD Express Cards on the market. Endorsed by Nintendo itself, the SanDisk microSD Express Card for Nintendo Switch 2 is an easy pick if you're not too fussed on performance and are only looking for something compatible. There's also an option for a Mario-inspired card, so you'll be able to match it with your console.

The PNY microSD Express card is the best for performance, delivering the fastest speeds in benchmarking and beating out the SanDisk MicroSD Express. It's also on the cheaper side if you go for the 256GB version, and even offers a smaller capacity card at 128GB.

Like the PNY, the Lexar Play Pro microSD Express Card also offers amazing speeds, and we've found that games run flawlessly. The 1TB also comes in handy if you don't want to keep uninstalling and reinstalling your Switch 2 games, offering even more storage than the other 512GB or 256GB cards.
