Nintendo Switch consoles don’t include much built-in storage, making MicroSD cards an essential purchase.
It’s might not be the most powerful console going, but the Nintendo Switch remains as popular as ever – even five years after launch. The hybrid console recently hit a milestone of 107 million sales and continues to receive a great selection of games every month. Game releases aren’t slowing down anytime soon, either, with the Switch on course to receive Splatoon 3, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and Mario Strikers: Battle League in the coming months, which means if you haven’t already, it may be time to consider buying one of the best SD cards for Switch. For all the Switch’s strengths, storage feels lacking without a MicroSD card. For standard Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite consoles, you only get 32GB of storage total. The Nintendo Switch OLED is slightly more generous, boosting the console’s storage to 64GB – but realistically, that just isn’t going to last. Thankfully, Switch games don’t tend to take up too much space, with many big indies like Hyper Light Drifter, Among Us, and Bastion all weighing in under 1GB.
