- The Nintendo Switch 2 presents 256 GB of internal storage
- The console still supports expandable storage, but will need to use a MicroSD Express card to run games
- These cards offer faster but more expensive speeds
The Nintendo Switch 2 has a lot to do: a more powerful CPU to allow even more impressive games, a better improved speakers audio and yes, a larger screen to 7.9 inches. But can we give a round of applause to Nintendo for increasing internal storage to 256 GB?
That is a great jump, eight times what the original Nintendo Switch offered, and should mean that it will have a lot of space for games and applications. Of course, there is expandable storage. However, not all are roses in that sense … especially if you have invested in many standard microSD cards for your current switch and want to update.
Because? Well, the Nintendo Switch 2 is still compatible with expandable storage, but it will only work with MicroSD Express cards. That is an important distinction, since non -standard microSD cards do not carry the properties of ‘Express’. However, these high -end microSD cards offer faster speeds that are more at the SSD level (solid state units).
That feature, together with the improved performance, should make a more fluid experience when reading or writing on the MicroSD Express card. You will need a MicroSD Express card to use with the Switch 2 to save a game or open one. However, According to this support pageYou can connect a standard microSD card to see photos or screenshots.
