By If your Nintendo Switch 2 is already gasping for storage space, there is a deal worth grabbing right now: Walmart is selling a Switch 2-ready 512GB microSD Express card for $84.77, easily the cheapest price on that much storage in 2026.

Why You Need One
The Switch 2 ships with just 256GB of internal storage, and in the 4K era that disappears fast. The Switch 2 version of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth eats nearly 100GB on its own — almost half the console’s capacity. Assassin’s Creed Shadows takes 62GB, Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition needs 60GB, and Madden NFL 27 demands 57GB. Add a few digital downloads and you are juggling installs before you know it. This 512GB card effectively triples your console’s storage, and setup is dead simple: slot it in, format it, and start downloading from the eShop immediately.
How the Deal Compares
The card is from Onn, Walmart’s in-house brand, and it carries a strong customer rating — IGN’s own review summed it up as “fine,” which for a storage card with no moving parts is honestly all you need. For reference, Amazon lists a SanDisk 512GB equivalent at $129.99, so you are saving more than $45 by going the Walmart route. One warning: this card is almost never in stock, so it may not last.
Timing matters more than usual here. Storage used to get cheaper every year, but the AI boom changed that — data centers have been buying up the world’s storage supply, and prices have been climbing since late last year with no relief in sight. Deals like this are the exception now, not the rule.
