Last updated
Ever wondered how to boost the storage on your Nintendo Switch? One common query is about where to insert the SD card in the Nintendo Switch. Let’s get that sorted!
If what you’re asking is, “Where does the SD card go in a Nintendo Switch?”, you’re in the right place. We’re going to break it down for you, easy peasy.
SD Card Slot Location
The Nintendo Switch has a special spot for the SD card. You’ll find the SD card slot behind the kickstand on the back of the console. Yes, that little flap has a purpose beyond just propping up your Switch!
To insert the SD card, gently open the kickstand. There you’ll see the SD card slot waiting for you. Make sure you insert the SD card the right way up. If it’s not fitting, don’t force it; it might just be upside down.
