Many people, even if they haven’t played Switch games, have heard of the Nintendo Switch’s fame. This game console has two modes: portable and docked, and it comes with a rich library of third-party games. As a result, its popularity remains high since its release, and many players are interested in it.
During the recent Spring Festival holiday, many newcomers found joy in playing Switch games with family and friends. The experience was enjoyable overall, but certain challenges were apparent. Achieving full enjoyment of the games requires various accessories to cater to different scenarios, such as game cartridges, multiplayer controllers, pro controllers, steering wheels, fitness rings, storage peripherals, and more. It’s akin to navigating the depths of the ocean when delving into the world of Switch!
While these accessories can be chosen selectively based on needs, a large memory card is a must. The Switch comes with only 32GB of internal storage, and even the upgraded Switch OLED has only 64GB. After deducting nearly ten gigabytes for system usage, the available actual space is quite tight. Whether you prefer digital or physical games, with the increasing size of games, the storage often becomes insufficient.
For digital game players, games can easily be several gigabytes or even dozens of gigabytes in size, and many games have subsequent updates and additional DLC content. Added to this are the space requirements for in-game screenshots and videos, making the standard capacity inadequate. While physical game cartridges allow instant gaming, they also face the issue of insufficient storage space. Typically, when using a cartridge for the first time, patch updates and game downloads are required. Moreover, games like “NBA 2K” and “BioShock: The Collection” require an additional 30GB download, and without expanded memory card space, one may not even qualify to enter the game.
As games continue to digitize, many players prefer digital versions, as switching physical cartridges for different games can be cumbersome. Therefore, purchasing an additional high-capacity microSD memory card is highly necessary!
Now, the question is, how to choose a Switch storage card? Let’s first look at the official recommendations:
In terms of performance, it supports the UHS-I specification, with read speeds ranging from 60-95MB/s. The faster the speed, the higher the gaming experience. The capacity can support external storage of up to 2TB.

Obviously, for Switch TF memory cards, U1 speed class is sufficient, but for a smoother gaming experience, it is recommended to choose high-end cards with U3, V30, or higher speed classes. Not only are they faster, but they also excel in stability and durability.
In terms of capacity, the Switch supports a maximum of 2TB TF memory cards. We don’t need to go that extravagant, considering the size of most major games and to minimize data transfer hassles. It is recommended to have an external storage capacity of 128GB or more, with larger capacities meeting more usage needs.
If it’s just for weekend entertainment, 128GB is sufficient. For mainstream gamers who frequently store DLC, 256GB is more suitable. For hardcore gamers, 512GB and above is undoubtedly enough to store as many games as they want.
OV MicroSD UHS-I Classic Green Card, with a maximum capacity of 1TB, can meet the needs of players at all levels with room to spare! In terms of performance, it conforms to the UHS-I standard, with a U3 speed class, continuous read speed of up to 100MB/s, and continuous write speed of up to 45MB/s, making your gaming experience even more enjoyable!
At the same time, OV MicroSD UHS-I Classic Green Card has a V30 video class, making it easy to capture and save 4K high-definition quality, perfectly reproducing game videos and images. The A2 performance optimizes large games and app operations for the Switch, fully tapping into the performance of the games. With a 5-year warranty, you can store games with confidence and play anytime!
Finally, it’s worth mentioning that this TF memory card has a stylish design with a refreshing white-green color scheme, exuding a youthful and lively vibe. Paired with the Switch, it’s fun and vibrant—perfect for carefree gaming!”
