I thought that was the point of SD Express?

It is, lol. 

The 256GB on board storage just has to be large enough for any single game.

SD Express cards from Samsung (800MB/sec) are coming this year, although really there's nothing stopping anyone from storing just using bog standard current SD Cards. People have tested this stuff on Steam Deck, using even old SD Cards work fine. 

If you're downloading like a large game such as Call of Duty or say a Final Fantasy VII Rebirth type of game, I would keep that on the main internal storage, and then just have a SD Card in the 256GB-1 TB range depending on how many games you feel you need to be able to play at one time. 

I'll be picking up probably a 512GB Samsung SD Express card when I get my Switch 2, that's 700+ GB of storage, very high speed internally, high speed enough even off the SD Card itself. 

I'll be picking up the 256 SD Express before Switch 2 launches but I would like an idea of the pricing. Are we talking 1TB SD pricing like for my Series X? Any idea on how much that 512 will cost for SD Express?
