Switch 2: Key Details Revealed

What can players expect from the Nintendo Switch 2?

  • Storage Boost: The Switch 2 includes 256 GB of internal storage. This is a substantial upgrade from the original Switch.
  • Price Points: The standard Nintendo Switch 2 is priced at $449.99. A bundle featuring Mario Kart World will be available for $499.99.
  • Expandable Storage - microSD Express: The Switch 2 utilizes microSD Express cards for expanded storage. These cards offer significantly faster speeds, similar to SSDs. While representing an additional cost (starting around $45 for 128GB), the performance benefit is expected to be worthwhile, especially for demanding game titles.
