In case you’ve unexpectedly run out of storage for more games on your Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, or another handheld gaming PC like the ROG Ally, there’s a deal happening at Amazon on possibly the last microSD card you might ever need to buy. Lexar’s 1 TB microSD card costs $66.49, which is a nice little discount off its typical $75 price.

1 TB of storage will go very far on the Nintendo Switch, as its games tend to have much smaller install sizes than those on other consoles. However, assuming that the Switch 2 coming in 2025 will also support this type of removable storage like the current model, you’ll then be set with a capacious microSD card to fit bigger games that may come in the future for the Switch successor.

Depending on the types of games you like to play, this is a ton of space for the Steam Deck, too. Open-world games will guzzle the storage more quickly, but if you obsess over indie delights or a mix of game types, then you likely won’t need to worry about it getting filled up — at least, too quickly.
