Is your Nintendo Switch running out of room for all those awesome games? You’re not alone! Let’s dive into how you can free up some much-needed space.

Wondering how to get more storage for your Nintendo adventures? You’ve come to the right place.

Quick Fixes to Free Up Space

The fastest way to free up space on your Nintendo Switch is by archiving games you no longer play. Don’t worry; archiving won’t delete your saved games or progress. It simply removes the game data from your console, and you can re-download the game anytime you wish from the eShop.

Another quick fix is managing screenshots and videos. The Switch loves to save your glorious gaming moments, but these files can eat up space quickly. Consider transferring them to a computer or deleting the ones you don’t need.

Using External Storage Solutions

If you find yourself frequently running out of space, it might be time to invest in a microSD card. The Nintendo Switch supports microSD cards up to 2TB. This is a great way to expand your storage capacity and ensure you have plenty of room for future games and updates.

Setting up a new microSD card is easy. Just insert it into the slot under the kickstand on the back of your Switch. The system will guide you through the setup process.
