The Switch 2 may have landed with more power and a bigger internal drive, but 256GB still disappears fast once you start downloading a few modern games.
That’s why this deal on the 1TB Lexar Play Pro Micro SD Express card is worth a look. It’s one of the best storage upgrades you can buy for Nintendo’s new console, and it’s finally dropped to £189.99 at Amazon, its lowest price ever.
This is one of the few 1TB MicroSD Express cards you can actually find in stock right now, and while it’s not exactly budget tech, it’s fast, future-proof, and offers enough room to keep your whole library in one place. It’s been hovering around £240 lately, so this is a genuine saving.
If you’ve been out of the loop, MicroSD Express is the next-generation format for Switch 2’s expandable storage. It replaces the older MicroSD cards from the original console with far better performance, up to 900MB/s read and 600MB/s write speeds, roughly four times faster than the previous standard. It's a little bit of a new technology, so prices are a wee bit steep right now.
But that 1TB capacity almost quadruples the Switch 2’s internal storage, and you’ll be glad for it once heavy hitters like Cyberpunk 2077 start eating up a quarter of the system drive on their own.
If you’re tired of deleting games every time a big release drops, this is the deal to grab right now in the UK. Lexar's Play Pro 1TB MicroSD Express card gives the Switch 2 the storage space it always should have had, and it’s finally at a price that's a little more reasonable.
