HyperX Gaming microSD Cards

HyperX, the gaming division of Kingston Technology, Inc. company, announced that the Gaming microSD card line is available in North America.

For mobile gamers who need additional storage to store and play games on their device. The company’s Gaming microSD cards feature read speeds of 100MB/s and write speeds of 80MB/s ⁽¹⁾, meeting or exceeding Nintendo Switch requirements.

This product line is available in 64, 128 and 256GB capacities.

“We are proud to expand our line of HyperX accessories with the new Gaming microSD Cards,” said Andrew Ewing, senior manager, console business, HyperX. “Our goal was to bring reliable, high-capacity and plug-and-play storage to mobile gamers and HyperX is excited to make that happen.“

The Gaming microSD Card is compatible with Nintendo Switch, mobile phones, tablets and other portable gaming devices that have a microSD slot for extended storage. Due to the limited internal storage on the Nintendo Switch, users need a microSD card to expand the storage space to install and play multiple games. The demand for more memory will continue to grow as more games with large amounts of content become available.

Gaming microSD Cards meet the needs of on-the-go gamers who download games and downloadable content (DLC) and don’t want to carry multiple cards or wait for long load times. Designed and manufactured to meet UHS-I, CL10, Speed Class (U3), A1 performance requirements. The company’s goal is to meet customer expectations with every memory product, gaming headset, keyboard, mouse or mousepad it designs.

The Gaming microSD card is available through Amazon in the U.S. and Canada from $49.99 to $199.99 MSRP and is backed by a lifetime warranty and technical support.
