How to Increase Storage on Your Nintendo Switch

Last updated
Ever find yourself running out of space for all your favorite games on your Nintendo Switch? You’re not alone. So, how do you increase storage on your Nintendo Switch?
Let’s dive into how you can give your console a much-needed space boost.
Get a MicroSD Card
The quickest and easiest way to increase your Nintendo Switch’s storage is by getting a microSD card. The Switch has a slot specifically for these cards, making it super simple to expand your storage space.
You can find microSD cards almost anywhere electronics are sold. They come in various sizes, from 32GB all the way up to 2TB. Just remember, the bigger the card, the more games and downloads you can fit.
Manage Your Game Data
Another tip is to manage your game data wisely. Delete games you no longer play and archive those you want to keep but don’t play often. This can free up a lot of space without having to spend a penny.
Remember, archiving a game keeps your save data safe while removing the game itself from your system. You can always re-download it later if you get the urge to play again.
