Officially Licensed Switch Storage

This 256 GB SanDisk microSDXC card carries the official Nintendo Switch licence and delivers dependable storage for your console. The UHS-I speed class supports quick game loads and smooth gameplay. You can keep a large library of titles on a single card.

Check Device Slot and Capacity Limit

Before ordering confirm your console uses a microSDXC slot and accepts cards up to the stated capacity. The manufacturer notes the line supports up to 512 GB so this 256 GB model fits within that range. No adapter is included so the device must accept microSD directly.

Upgrade From Smaller Cards

This card replaces lower-capacity microSD or microSDHC cards that force you to delete games to make space. The jump is worth it when your current card is full and you want to carry more titles without swapping media. It also supersedes slower cards that cause longer load screens.

Questions about this item

Does the 256 GB SanDisk microSDXC card ship with an SD adapter or do I need to buy one separately?

The card is supplied on its own; no SD adapter is included in the package.

The listing mentions up to 512 GB — should I choose the 256 GB version or a larger capacity for my Nintendo Switch?

The 256 GB model holds fewer games than the 512 GB option, so pick the larger card only if you plan to store a bigger library.

What does the UHS-I speed class mean for actual load times on a Nintendo Switch?

UHS-I delivers read speeds fast enough for smooth game launches and level streaming on the Switch.
