The cost of the Nintendo Switch 2 is going up by $50 on September 1st, 2026, resulting in a $499.99 price tag for just the console. We’re just weeks away, but Costco is offering a fantastic $499.99 bundle for its members that includes a Nintendo Switch 2, a 256GB microSD Express card (usually $59), and a one year subscription to Nintendo Switch Online’s Expansion Pack tier, which normally costs $49.99 per year. That’s over $100 in value, and a great way to kickstart your Switch 2 experience.
The Switch 2 has 256GB of internal storage, so a microSD card is likely something you’ll need eventually for storing more games without having to constantly manage your library. With first-party Nintendo games typically running between 10 and 25GB, and larger third-party games reaching 50GB, a 256GB card should store anywhere from 5-20 additional games.
