Community Reviews

This 512GB SanDisk GamePLAY microSD Express card is aimed at Switch 2 storage, where the Express format is required and much faster than regular microSD cards. The price is still high, but it is described as far below earlier Express card pricing and a better balance than the first wave of options. Sold and shipped by Walmart, it also carries less counterfeit worry than third party listings. The main caveat is that Express cards are a different standard, so compatibility matters, and the card is still expensive compared with non Express alternatives. A practical pick if you need Switch 2 storage now.

Common Questions (3)

$98 is described as much lower than earlier Express-card pricing, with similar cards previously running at least double that and 1TB options often around $130-$180. It is still considered pricey compared with older non-Express 512GB cards, which were far cheaper.

It is sold and shipped by Walmart, which makes it a safer buy than a third-party marketplace listing. The main concern raised is return acceptance rather than authenticity, since counterfeit SanDisk cards are common.
FaithfulLlama731 bearstampede acerunner
Yes, microSD Express is the required card type for Switch 2, and this card is made for devices that support the Express interface. Regular microSD/UHS cards are a different technology and are not the same thing.

MicroSD Express cards have never been that cheap. its a requirement for the Switch 2.

Only if Nintendo had made a system with more on board storage..

Right, because people weren't already bitching that it was $400. And it's already scheduled to go up $50 more in September because of memory prices. 512 GB would have been nice, don't get me wrong, but I think they struck a reasonable balance.
I haven't even found the need for more storage yet, and I've downloaded my entire OG Switch library to it. Granted, most of my major/large games are physical copies, so YMMV. I guess I just don't see the need to keep a bunch of big games installed at once, but then, I mostly have the NSW2 for Nintendo and "good for on-the-go" type games. I slapped 2TB more storage into my PS5, and I have 1 or 2 TB SSDs dedicated to games in all my computers.

Sold and shipped by Walmart. So likely legit

Only if in store. Shipping still risks getting a fake

Yup, it's gotten to the point that it almost doesn't matter who you buy from; the primary concern is whether they'll accept the return.

Isn't this still pricy? Pretty sure these are normal prices and not deals.

People should be glad that Nintendo didnt learn. The price of devices with larger SSDs has gone sky high.

Yep. Onn brand 512GB was probably the cheapest for about $65. This SanDisk was also on sale a year ago for $75/76.

I remember having the Samsung P9 512gb in my Amazon cart for $75 after black Friday and seeing it slowly climbing every week. It is now at $200 haha.
