Update: This deal is already sold out.
Woot just put out one of the best deals I’ve seen on a Nintendo Switch 2 memory card this year. Right now you can pick up an officially licensed 256GB Nintendo Switch 2 memory card from Samsung for just $35.19 after you apply 20% off coupon code “SUPERSAVING“. If you’re a first time Woot customer, then this deal is even better because the coupon takes 30% off instead of 20%, dropping the price to $30.79. Amazon Prime members get free shipping. If you don’t have Amazon Prime, then you’ll need to pay $5 for delivery, which still makes it a good deal.
According to Woot, these memory cards “are in new condition, unused returns which do not ship in original retail packaging. They will ship in generic bulk packaging.”
256GB Nintendo Switch 2 Memory Card for $35.19 or Less
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 Samsung model is no different, with speeds of up to 800MB/s read and 400MB/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 256GB card will double the total capacity.
Is the 256GB not enough? There’s a 512GB memory card on sale too.
Newegg via its official AliExpress storefront is offering a solid deal on a larger capacity card. 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.
