Nintendo's Summer Sale has pushed the officially licensed Samsung 256GB microSD Express card down to $39 with free shipping — a $20.99 saving off list price and the lowest price currently available. Prime Day briefly offered a similar deal, but this one actually beats it by $0.99.
The Switch 2 ships with 256GB of built-in storage, which sounds generous until you start loading it up. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade alone eats 90–100GB, Split Fiction needs around 70GB, Cyberpunk 2077 takes roughly 60GB, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment requires 44GB. A handful of big digital downloads and that internal storage is gone. Worth noting: the Switch 2 only accepts microSD Express cards — standard microSD cards from the original Switch won't work — so this isn't an optional upgrade for anyone building a serious digital library.
The $39 price doesn't quite match the all-time low of $35 seen at the start of 2026, but given how volatile tech pricing has been this year, it's still a strong deal. Beyond storage, Nintendo's Summer Sale also covers Switch 2 games — Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Mario Tennis Fever are all at all-time low prices for the platform. The Switch 2: Choose Your Own Game Bundle is also still live and remains the best-value console package of the summer.
If you missed Prime Day's accessory deals — which included 50% off the same Samsung card, discounts on the tomtoc Slim Case, Belkin's Pro Charging Case, and amFilm screen protectors — the Summer Sale is a second chance to fill in the gaps. The memory card deal has no stated end date, but sale pricing on hardware accessories rarely sticks around long.
