Official Fortnite SanDisk microSDXC card for Nintendo Switch now available
(Pocket-lint) — Western Digital has partnered with Epic Games and Nintendo to introduce a couple of official Fortnite microSDXC cards for Nintendo Switch.
Released under the SanDisk brand, the cards are available in 128GB and 256GB sizes and come with Skull Trooper and Cuddle Team Leader designs respectively.
Fortnite fans who buy the cards also get a code to redeem the rare Angular Flow Wrap2, for use in the game.
Whichever card you choose, it slots into the small storage expansion port on the Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED, or Switch Lite. The 256GB version has enough extra storage for 10-20 extra games — more if they are smaller releases.
