The Samsung microSD Express Card 256GB is the official storage expansion card for Nintendo Switch 2. It uses the PCIe Gen 3.0 x1 / NVMe 1.3 interface to deliver sequential read speeds up to 800 MB/s — the standard required for Nintendo Switch 2 games to load and run smoothly. It has a capacity of 256GB and comes in the microSDXC form factor measuring 15 x 11 x 1mm. The card is Nintendo-certified and was released on June 5, 2025 alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 console. It carries a 3-year limited warranty from Samsung.

Key Features
- 800 MB/s Sequential Read Speed via PCIe Gen 3.0 — The Speed Nintendo Switch 2 Requires: The Samsung microSD Express Card uses the PCIe Gen 3.0 x1 interface with NVMe 1.3 — the same interface standard used in fast SSD storage — rather than the older SD bus used by standard microSD cards. This gives it sequential read speeds up to 800 MB/s compared to 90–100 MB/s on standard UHS-I microSD cards. Nintendo Switch 2 games require this level of read speed to load assets and stream game data at the rate the console's hardware expects. Using a standard microSD card that does not support the microSD Express standard is not just slower — it is fully incompatible. Nintendo Switch 2 requires the PCIe-based microSD Express standard to function with any external storage.
- 256GB Capacity — Space for Your Full Nintendo Switch 2 Game Library: The card provides 256GB of user storage, expanding the Nintendo Switch 2's internal 256GB to a total of 512GB when used together. Nintendo Switch 2 game file sizes range from a few GB for smaller titles to 15GB or more for large first-party games. 256GB of additional storage holds approximately 15 to 25 full Nintendo Switch 2 games depending on file sizes — enough to maintain a full active game library without frequently deleting and redownloading titles. The microSDXC form factor fits the dedicated microSD Express card slot on the Nintendo Switch 2 console.
- Nintendo-Certified — Official Licensed Storage for Nintendo Switch 2: The Samsung microSD Express Card is officially certified by Nintendo for use with Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo certification means the card has been tested and approved to meet the read speed, reliability, and compatibility requirements that Nintendo Switch 2 games and the console's operating system demand. It carries the Official Nintendo Licensed Product seal, confirming it is not a third-party card marketed for Switch 2 compatibility but an officially verified storage solution. The card was released on June 5, 2025 — the same day as the Nintendo Switch 2 console launch — making it a day-one official accessory.
- Backward Compatible with Original Nintendo Switch — One Card for Both Consoles: While the Samsung microSD Express Card is designed and optimized for Nintendo Switch 2, it also works physically in the original Nintendo Switch console. When used in the original Nintendo Switch, it operates at UHS-I speeds (up to 90 MB/s) rather than the full 800 MB/s Express speed — since the original Switch does not have a PCIe interface. This backward compatibility means if you own both a Nintendo Switch and a Nintendo Switch 2, this single card can be used in either console. Standard microSD cards from the original Switch, however, cannot be used in Nintendo Switch 2 in the opposite direction.
- 3-Year Limited Warranty and Samsung Reliability — Built for Long-Term Use: The card comes with a 3-year limited warranty from Samsung and carries EMC certifications including FCC, CE (UKCA), VCCI, and RCM. The microSDXC form factor measures 15 x 11 x 1mm and weighs approximately 0.25g — compact enough that it sits fully recessed inside the Nintendo Switch 2's card slot without protruding. The operating temperature range of 0°C to 45°C covers standard indoor gaming environments. Samsung's microSD Express Card is built on the same semiconductor manufacturing standards as Samsung's consumer and enterprise flash storage products, making it a long-term storage solution for the Nintendo Switch 2 library.
