The Nintendo Switch 2 has a new microSD Express option in the 1TB storage capacity, thanks to PNY. This also comes several months after PNY launched its 512GB option , which landed back in August of 2025. PNY is one of the most well-known brands in storage, memory, and GPUs, and it has a reputation for being one of the slightly more affordable options on the market. This is especially true when compared to some of the biggest brands, like Samsung and SanDisk. Both of which often cost significantly more for the same amount of storage capacity.
One of the downsides of the Nintendo Switch 2 is that Nintendo confirmed you would need a microSD Express card for expandable storage beyond the initial 256GB you get with the console internally. You can’t use the same cards you might have used with the Nintendo Switch. Which means you’d probably have to spend more money eventually. After all, 256GB fills up faster than you think. There have been quite a few options for microSD Express cards that were available throughout this past year since the Nintendo Switch 2’s launch. There have even been some 1TB options in the past few months. However, PNY has one big advantage over many of them.
The PNY 1TB microSD Express is a little more affordable than other options
The main thing that PNY is offering compared to other brands in the 1TB capacity, at least upfront, is the cost. Out of the handful of brands that are even making a 1TB card, PNY’s is among the least expensive. The only other option at the same price comes from Lexar. Worth noting is that Lexar’s card is also on sale. The regular retail price for it is $219.99. Its sale price is $199.99, matching the retail price of PNY’s newly available card.
