Newegg just put out an excellent deal on a Nintendo Switch 2 memory card, but it’s not from Newegg’s own site. Instead it’s from Newegg’s official AliExpress storefront. The TeamGroup 512GB MicroSD Express Memory Card has dropped in price to just $94.99 with free shipping (you’ll need to be signed in to see this price). That’s $5 cheaper than Newegg direct and $15 cheaper than getting it from Amazon.

512GB Nintendo Switch 2 Memory Card for $94.99

The Switch 2 console will only accept MicroSD Express cards. If you have a standard MicroSD card from your previous Switch, it won’t work on the Switch 2. Although the two might look similar, the MicroSD Express card is much faster than its precedessor.  The TeamGroup model is no different, with speeds of up to 800MB/s read and 700MB/s write.

Quite a few games have now been released for the Switch 2 and some of them require an enormous amount of space. Final Fantasy 14 is the most gigabyte-hungry game to date, requiring about 117GB all by itself. That game alone takes up half of the Switch 2’s internal storage capacity. Other plus-sized games include Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade (90GB), Split Fiction (70GB), Cyberpunk 2077 (60GB), and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment (44GB). Nowadays it’s completely possible to download just three or four games and find yourself completely out of onboard storage. The Switch 2 has 256GB of onboard storage. This 512GB card will triple the total capacity and the 256GB card will double it.
