I had seen some great deals on 256GB Nintendo Switch 2 memory cards during Prime Day, but none for the more practical 512GB size. Fortunately, Walmart has a good deal in stock right now. The Onn 512GB Micro SDXC Express Card drops to just $84.77 with free shipping. A 512GB MicroSD Express card will run you over $100 everywhere else. If you have a Nintendo Switch 2 console, then you should seriously consider getting it now before it goes out of stock. Memory card prices in general have been through the roof, unfortunately.

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 cards is much faster than its precedessor. The Onn model is no different, with speeds of up to 800MB/s write and 600MB/s read. More importantly for gamers, it’s Nintendo Switch 2 compatible.
Quite a few games have now been released for the Switch 2 and some of them require an enormous amount of space. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is the most gigabyte-hungry game to date, requiring 90-100GB all by itself. Other plus-sized games include 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 card will triple the total capacity.
