512GB SanDisk microSD Express card for Switch 2 drops to $98 at Walmart

Walmart has cut the price of the SanDisk GamePlay 512GB microSD Express card to $98 — down from its usual $150 — making it one of the better Switch 2 storage deals available right now.

The discount matters because Switch 2's internal 256GB fills up faster than most players expect. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade takes up close to 100GB, Split Fiction needs around 70GB, Cyberpunk 2077 weighs in at roughly 60GB, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment requires about 44GB — install a handful of those and you're already scrambling for space. It's also worth noting that Switch 2 only supports microSD Express cards for game storage; older standard microSD cards from the original Switch can still hold screenshots and videos, but they won't run Switch 2 software.

If you haven't bought a Switch 2 yet, there are two other deals worth flagging. Nintendo has confirmed the console's price will increase in September, so the next few weeks are likely the last window to buy at current pricing. Woot — owned by Amazon — is also selling Grade A refurbished Switch 2 units for $399.99, which is $50 below the current MSRP. Each refurbished console has been fully tested, wiped of previous owner data, and comes with a 90-day limited warranty; the only trade-off is plain replacement packaging instead of Nintendo's original box.

Demand for the Switch 2 remains solid even as the launch rush fades — Nintendo moved 3.82 million units in the three months ending June 30, down from 5.82 million at launch but still a strong baseline. If you're building a digital library, the $98 storage card is the kind of practical purchase that pays off every time you download a new game without having to delete something first.
