If you’ve started compiling a collection of digital games, you probably already know just how limited the Switch’s base storage capacity is. The Switch and Switch OLED have 32GB and 64GB of internal storage, respectively, some of it reserved for the OS. Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom uses up 16GB and Breath of the Wild about 13.5GB. If bought digitally, those two games alone would take up all of your internal storage on the OG Switch console. There’s only one expansion slot in the Switch console so you want to make sure you get the biggest card you can afford.

The PNY Micro SDXC card is compatible with virtually any device that accepts the Micro SDXC card standard. That includes the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and the ASUS ROG Ally. This specific PNY “Premier-X” model is actually faster than most other Micro SDXC card at its price point with a U3 A2 speed rating (most cards are U1 A1) with up to 100MBps/90MBps read/write speeds. The Nintendo Switch won’t take advantage of such speeds, however, if you want to get a memory card for your smartphone, GoPro, DSLR, or any other device that can requires large data transfers on the fly, this is a great option.
