This 512GB SanDisk GamePLAY microSD Express card is aimed at Switch 2 storage, and the big draw is that it is a true Express card that the console requires. The Costco price lands below several major retailers and looks strong versus recent Express card pricing, especially for 512GB capacity. It also matters that regular microSD cards and non Express cards will not work for Switch 2 games. A known Costco shipping website issue has also been reported, and one test run failed during h2testw, so the card may be worth checking carefully after arrival.

Common Questions (4)

  • Yes. The Switch 2 requires a microSD Express card, and this SanDisk GamePLAY card is the correct type. Standard microSD cards will not work, and Express cards are needed for running Switch 2 games off the card.

  • Switch 2 uses microSD Express, which has much higher read/write speeds than regular microSD, so compatible cards cost more. Regular 512GB microSD cards have been much cheaper, but 512GB Express cards have generally stayed far above that range.

  • Yes. The Costco price is below Walmart's $98 listing and far under other major retailers mentioned, and recent 2025 pricing for 512GB microSD Express cards has mostly been around $65-$80 rather than regular microSD pricing.

  • The shipping error is a known website issue, and customer service's current instruction is to try again later. No immediate workaround was provided in the thread.

This is Costco's own MSRP, but it's $8 less than Walmart which has been Frontpaged previously for $98 (or $88 for select accounts).

I really hope the golden days to come back : $22 for 512GB on Apr 7, 2025 -- https://slickdeals.net/f/18234763-sandisk-512gb-imagemate-pro-microsdxc-uhs-1-memory-card-with-adapter-up-to-200mb-s-sdsqxbd-512g-aw6ka-21-53

Edit : Damn people! understand the intention, I am not saying the same card was sold for $22. I just want the low price memory days to come back!

I'm getting a Switch 2 soon, but I don't think I'll need this day one. Worth the wait to see what happens at Black Friday?

2030 and beyond. They're going to milk this memory bottleneck crisis for years.
