Woot has reduced the price of the officially licensed 256GB Samsung Memory Card for the Nintendo Switch 2 to its lowest point this year. The card is available for $35.19 for most customers after applying a 20% off coupon code, "SUPERSAVING." For first-time Woot customers, the discount increases to 30%, bringing the price down to $30.79. Amazon Prime members will receive free shipping, while non-Prime members will incur a $5 delivery fee.
These memory cards are described by Woot as being in new condition, representing unused returns that will ship in generic bulk packaging rather than original retail boxes. The Samsung card offers read speeds of up to 800MB/s and write speeds of up to 400MB/s. This is crucial as the Nintendo Switch 2 will exclusively support MicroSD Express cards, which are significantly faster than standard MicroSD cards used with the original Switch. Older MicroSD cards will not be compatible with the new console.
The need for expanded storage is highlighted by the growing size of Switch 2 games. Titles such as Final Fantasy 14 require approximately 117GB, consuming half of the console's internal 256GB storage. Other large games include Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade at 90GB, Split Fiction at 70GB, Cyberpunk 2077 at 60GB, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity at 44GB. With these storage demands, downloading just a few games can quickly fill the internal capacity. The 256GB card effectively doubles the Switch 2's total storage.
For those seeking even more capacity, a 512GB TeamGroup MicroSD Express Memory Card is also on sale for $94.99 through Newegg's AliExpress storefront, which includes free shipping.
