Amazon has cut the Samsung P9 256GB MicroSD Express card to $39.99 with free shipping for Prime Day — one of the better Switch 2 storage deals to surface since the console launched.
The Samsung P9 hits transfer speeds up to 800MB/s and is officially Nintendo Switch 2 compatible. That compatibility matters because the Switch 2 only accepts MicroSD Express cards — older standard MicroSD cards from the original Switch won't work, even though they look nearly identical. The Switch 2 ships with 256GB of onboard storage, so this card effectively doubles your total capacity.
Storage space fills up fast on Switch 2. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade alone demands 90–100GB, Split Fiction takes 70GB, Cyberpunk 2077 needs 60GB, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment weighs in at 44GB. Three or four big downloads and the internal storage is gone.
IGN reviewed the Samsung P9 and recommends it. The Prime Day price is $39.99 — stock may not last long given how scarce good Switch 2 memory card deals have been.
