Ever wondered what memory card your Nintendo Switch needs for extra storage? Let’s solve that mystery in a fun way!

So, you’ve got a Nintendo Switch, and you’re thinking, “What memory card does this awesome gadget need?” You’re in the right place to find out!

The Quick Answer: MicroSD Cards

The Nintendo Switch uses MicroSD cards to expand its storage. That’s right, those tiny cards you often see in cameras and smartphones.

MicroSD cards come in various sizes, but the Switch is pretty flexible. It can handle cards up to 2TB in size! Although, finding a 2TB card might be like finding a needle in a haystack (and your wallet might not like it either). Most people go for sizes between 64GB and 256GB, which offers plenty of space for games and updates.
