Lexar 256GB microSD Express card for Nintendo Switch 2 drops below £60
The 256GB card uses PCIe and NVMe technology and offers up to 900MB/s read speeds, with 25% off for Switch 2 owners.
Nintendo Switch owners can currently save £20 on a Lexar PLAY PRO microSD Express card, with a 25% price reduction putting the 256GB model below £60.
Unlike the original Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED, the latest console requires microSD Express format; the Lexar PLAY PRO uses PCIe and NVMe technology for substantially higher transfer speeds.
Lexar lists read speeds of up to 900MB/s and write speeds of up to 600MB/s on supported devices, with extra performance intended to help games load more quickly and reduce waiting during large downloads.
V30, U3 and A2 ratings make the card suitable for demanding uses including 4K video recording, and it remains compatible with UHS-I and UHS-II devices while operating at reduced speeds.
The 256GB Lexar PLAY PRO capacity sits between entry-level and larger models for buyers building digital libraries, and Iconic Media Group journalists reviewed this content to ensure accuracy.
