The memory card determines how many games you can store on your console. Here’s how to choose.
What is it for?
On both 3DS and PS Vita, games and apps are stored on the memory card. The larger it is, the more you can install.
What size for how many games?
- 64 GB: already enough for dozens of games — more than sufficient for most players.
- 128 GB: a very large library, ideal if you never want to sort through your games.
- 256 GB and up: for collectors who want everything, including retro emulation.
Our advice
For most people, 64 to 128 GB is the best compromise. Our consoles come with a memory card and many games already installed. 👉 View our consoles.
