Costco sells Nintendo Switch 2 bundle with microSD card and online subscription for $499.99

Nintendo’s upcoming Switch 2 will see its price rise by $50 on September 1, 2026, bringing the console’s cost to $499.99. The launch is only weeks away, but Costco is already offering a $499.99 bundle for members that includes the new Switch 2, a 256‑GB microSD Express card (normally $59) and a one‑year subscription to Nintendo Switch Online’s Expansion Pack tier, which typically costs $49.99 per year. The bundle delivers more than $100 in value and provides a ready‑to‑play package for new owners.

The Switch 2 ships with 256 GB of internal storage, but most first‑party titles run between 10 and 25 GB and larger third‑party games can reach 50 GB. A 256‑GB microSD card will therefore allow players to add roughly five to twenty additional games without constantly managing the internal library. The included Switch Online subscription gives access to cloud saving, online play and classic NES, SNES and Game Boy titles, while the Expansion Pack adds GameCube, Game Boy Advance, N64 and Virtual Boy games, plus modern upgrade packs for titles such as *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom*.

With the bundle’s added storage and subscription benefits, Costco’s offer positions the Switch 2 as a comprehensive starter kit for both new and existing Switch users, providing a cost‑effective way to launch into the next generation of Nintendo gaming.
