The official microSD Express card for Nintendo Switch 2 has seen a price increase from 6980 yen to 8980 yen as of August 17, 2026. This price hike reflects broader trends in rising costs due to inflation and increased component prices, impacting storage solutions as well.
The microSD Express card, which allows for faster data transfer compared to traditional microSD cards, is essential for storing and loading downloadable software on the Nintendo Switch 2. As of the latest update, both Samsung and SanDisk versions of the card are priced at 8980 yen, with the SanDisk variant currently sold out.
Looking ahead, the Nintendo Switch 2 has already undergone a price increase for the console itself, which rose from 49980 yen to 59980 yen starting May 25, 2026. The ongoing rise in storage prices may continue to affect consumer purchasing decisions, particularly as the demand for compatible storage solutions grows.
