“Nintendo Switch is compatible with the SDXC standard, which supports up to 2TB.”

Micro SDXC cards version 5.0 was announced in February 2016, it features added “Video Speed Class” ratings for UHS cards to handle higher resolution video formats like 8K and new speed ratings go up to 90 MB/s.

“2TB cards are not actually out on the market. However, Switch will support them when they are.

1TB Micro SDXC cards are still a ways off for most consumers as well. Currently, the largest available SDXC cards hold 512GB of storage and retail for $200 on the low end, while the highest Micro SDXC card is currently 256 GB.”
