These are my favorite Switch 2 accessories

theverge.com Cameron Faulkner 2025-12-06 12:30:25

The Switch 2 can be enjoyed right out of the box, but it’s even better with the right accessories. Some of these add-ons are more crucial than others, especially if you’re deciding what to buy early on. For example, a case and a screen protector can keep your console safe from scuffs, scratches, and drops, so both are what I’d consider to be essential. On the other hand, a microSD Express card lets you add even more digital games to your library, although the console’s somewhat generous 256GB o
