SanDisk’s back with another Nintendo Switch microSD card, and this one could put an end to your storage woes for good.
Thebest SD cards for Switchare practically an essential purchase given the relatively small size of theNintendo Switch’s 32GB of on-board storage. But SanDisk’s latest, officially licensed microSD card will add a whopping 1TB of space, perfect for accommodating space-hungry games likeThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the KingdomandXenoblade Chronicles 3.
Unfortunately, and perhaps understandably, this new microSD card doesn’t come cheap. Coming in at $129.99 / £159.99 (around AU$195.99) you’re certainly getting a better deal if you live in the US. However, if you find yourself constantly having to delete thebest Nintendo Switch gamesto make room for more, I’d say it’s well worth the investment. It’s got a fun little Zelda logo on it, too.
You can pick up the 1TB microSD card for yourself fromWestern Digital’s online store. The company also has a brand new 64GBYoshi-themed microSD cardavailable for just $15.99 / £12.99 (around AU$24.99) if you’re looking to bolster storage on a budget.
My kingdom for more storage
The SanDisk brand has been consistently releasing the best microSD cards for Nintendo Switch since the console’s 2017 launch. I’d say its products are the go-to if you tend to download and install plenty of games. If only because the Switch’s 32GB of onboard storage is pitifully low.
TheNintendo Switch OLEDfares better with 64GB of storage, but you should still consider buying a microSD card as the console’s best games continue to grow in size.
Tears of the Kingdomclocks in at around 16GB in size. That doesn’t sound like much, but that’s half your storage gone if you’re only using the Nintendo Switch’s base hardware.Xenoblade Chronicles 3is similarly large at 15GB, and that’s before any additional DLC has been installed.Bayonetta 3andSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate,meanwhile, need 15GB and 16GB respectively, so there’s always incentive to get a microSD card slotted into your Switch.
