It's official: The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch on June 5, and excitement is building! Following an extensive Nintendo Direct that showcased upcoming games and detailed the new hardware, preorders for essential accessories have begun. Among these, microSD Express cards are crucial as they are the only storage cards compatible with the Switch 2.

GameStop is stepping up to meet the demand by offering its own line of microSD Express cards for preorder. These cards come in various capacities, catering to different storage needs:

GameStop 256GB Express MicroSD Card

• $47.49 for GameStop Pro Members.
• $49.99 at GameStop

GameStop 512GB Express MicroSD Card

• $80.74 for GameStop Pro Members.
• $84.99 at GameStop

GameStop 1TB Express MicroSD Card

• $142.49 for GameStop Pro Members.
• $149.99 at GameStop

Due to high demand, many of these cards are selling out quickly. However, GameStop's preorders offer a glimmer of hope for gamers looking to secure their storage upgrade. The cards range from 256GB ($49.99) to 512GB ($84.99) and up to 1TB ($149.99), all set to release on June 5, coinciding with the console's launch.

The rapid sell-out of microSD Express cards highlights the urgency of preordering if you plan to expand your storage beyond the Switch 2's built-in 256GB. This is a significant upgrade from the original Switch's 32GB, but avid gamers with expansive libraries might still need additional space.

For those eager to secure the console itself, mark your calendar for April 9 when preorders are expected to open.
