addlink has officially announced the launch of its new Turbo Play Express microSD Express Card, a next-generation storage solution designed with handheld gaming in mind. Specifically developed for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, the card leverages SD 7.1 and PCIe Gen 3 NVMe technologies to deliver high transfer speeds, expanded storage capacity, and seamless compatibility with both new and legacy gaming devices.
The Turbo Play Express introduces a significant step forward in memory card performance. It is capable of achieving read speeds of up to 880 MB/s and write speeds of up to 750 MB/s, making it one of the fastest microSD solutions currently announced for consumer gaming devices. These speeds enable players to reduce game load times, transfer large files such as downloadable content more efficiently, and manage larger gaming libraries without delays.
Compatibility is a key focus of this release. The Turbo Play Express is fully optimized for the Nintendo Switch 2’s dedicated microSD Express slot, ensuring peak performance with the new console. At the same time, it offers backward compatibility with older consoles and devices by automatically shifting to UHS-I mode when Express support is unavailable. This makes the card suitable not only for next-generation handhelds but also for existing systems and mobile platforms.
In terms of storage options, addlink is offering the Turbo Play Express in a wide range of capacities, starting from 128 GB and extending up to 1 TB. This flexibility allows players to select the storage size that best matches their needs, whether they maintain a modest collection of indie titles or require space for multiple AAA games, updates, downloadable content, and saved data. The inclusion of the V30 video performance class support also ensures reliable read and write performance for both gaming and media recording applications.
addlink has also confirmed additional product variations under the Turbo Play lineup. The company will offer a Turbo Play Gaming Card designed for the original Nintendo Switch as well as a Premium Card series intended for video recording and general-purpose data storage. Together, these options expand the company’s product portfolio and provide solutions tailored to both gamers and content creators.
With the release of the Turbo Play Express microSD Express Card, addlink continues to strengthen its position in the high-performance storage segment. The card combines next-generation technology with wide compatibility, aiming to support both the latest gaming hardware and long-standing devices. For users of the Nintendo Switch 2, it provides a dedicated high-speed storage option built to handle the increasing demands of modern handheld gaming.
