Lexar China made an announcement this week that it’s about to release a new microSD Express Card, but the important bit here is that it will apparently be compatible with Nintendo Switch 2.

It’s interesting then that Lexar China has made this announcement and has reason to believe that its product will work on Nintendo’s new system. The company went as far as to say that it’s a “NS must-have”.
