Walmart Restocks $40 Off 512GB microSD Card for Switch 2

The record-breaking Nintendo Switch 2 continues its strong performance this summer. While the console is now available on Amazon, many fans are struggling to find a compatible microSD card in stock, let alone at a reasonable price.

Fortunately, Walmart has delivered a great solution this week. We've seen 256GB cards that can double your Switch 2's storage, but this 512GB option is currently in stock for $78 - the best price we've found for a card of this capacity available right now.

Why This 512GB microSD Express Card is Perfect for Your Nintendo Switch 2

We mention this because Walmart does carry a slightly cheaper onn microSDXC Express Card, but it has been out of stock for some time, making this SanDisk model your best option.

Amazon still offers the microSD Express from Samsung with Mario branding, but it costs $59. For just under $20 more, you're getting double the storage capacity.

Amazon also lists the same 512GB SanDisk card, but at $120 instead of $78, with delivery delayed until August or September. That means you're saving $42 by purchasing through Walmart, plus getting faster shipping.

If you were hoping to use your Nintendo Switch 1 memory card with your Switch 2, there's disappointing news: the Switch 2 requires microSD Express cards, which offer higher speeds but unfortunately come at a premium price.

The good news is that these new cards are easy to install, and you won't experience any performance drops compared to using the internal storage (the Switch 2 comes with 256GB - a significant upgrade from the original Switch's 32GB).

In other Switch 2 updates, the official Switch 2 Pro Controller is finally available on Amazon. This new listing appeared after Nintendo and Amazon resolved their months-long dispute. The resolution also brought a fresh Amazon listing for Donkey Kong Bananza, which launches this week on July 17.
