The 256GB variant is also back in stock at the time of writing this and is going for $47.48 shipped.

Lexar debuted these microSD cards quickly after the Switch 2 was announced, landing as the “world’s first” 1TB Express microSD cards to rival SanDisk’s Express cards. The PLAY PRO card stands as a solid choice offering sequential read and write speeds of 900MB/s and 600MB/s, respectively. The 1TB variant is still entirely out of stock, but both 256GB and 512GB units are still plenty for most users to store a bunch of games. And for those wondering, these microSD cards are also backward-compatible with UHS-I and UHS-II host devices.
If you’d rather get your hands on a standard microSD card, Lexar’s 1TB 205MB/s PLAY microSD is also down at $84 right now. This is good for folks who are looking to add more storage to their 1st-gen Nintendo Switch or some other PC gaming handheld, and it’s down from its usual price of $125.
