If you’re running out of space on your Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck, it thankfully doesn’t cost much to expand your storage. Both handhelds fully support microSD cards, which have become considerably less expensive in recent years, especially for high-capacity cards. Ahead of Black Friday 2023, we rounded up the best microSD card deals you can grab right now.
Some of the best deals are for SanDisk products, with 1TB, 512GB, 256GB, 128GB, and 64GB cards on sale at Amazon. SanDisk microSD cards are known for being reliable and work great on Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch. They’ll also work with the brand-new Steam Deck OLED. So if you ordered the new Steam Deck and want to future-proof your storage, now’s not a bad time to buy one to pair with your new handheld.
We’d recommend springing for a card that’s 256GB or above, as these aren’t much more expensive than their smaller siblings yet give your handheld a bunch more space to work with.
If you’re looking for a microSD card with a bit more juice, you can opt for something from the Samsung Pro Plus lineup. These cards feature specs that are well above what’s needed for Switch and Steam Deck, ensuring your games load as fast as possible. On Steam Deck, you’ll notice faster transfer speeds when adding games to the microSD card. You’ll also find a budget-friendly Lexar 1TB microSD card for just $75, which is a cheap option if you’re planning to load up on games.
Here’s a look at the best Black Friday microSD card deals. And if you’re in the market for a Nintendo Switch this holiday, you’ll find a list of the holiday bundles that are currently available below the microSD cards.
