PNY 128GB microSD Express on Sale — Cheap Switch 2 Storage Upgrade

The Nintendo Switch 2 requires newer microSD Express cards for expandable storage, and a 128GB PNY microSD Express card is currently on sale for about $38 (roughly 15% off). If you need more room for your downloaded Switch and Switch 2 games, this is a budget-friendly option that’s been tested with the new console.

Engadget’s tests found that while microSD Express cards don’t all perform identically, real-world differences in load times are small for most players. PNY’s 128GB card performed slightly faster than SanDisk when moving games back to the console’s internal storage, though it was a bit slower when writing games to the card — a minor trade-off for the lower price.

• What you get: 128GB capacity, microSD Express compatibility required by Switch 2.
• Price: ~15% off, down to $38 (sale price may change).
• Performance: Good in real-world use; small differences between brands are often negligible.

Bottom line: If you own or plan to upgrade to a Nintendo Switch 2 and need extra storage, a sale-priced PNY microSD Express card is a sensible, cost-effective choice. The small write-speed delay reported by testers is unlikely to impact everyday gameplay for most users.

Discussion: Are you planning to expand your Switch 2 storage now, or waiting for larger/cheaper microSD Express options?
