The Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order details have been revealed – here’s the price, when they start, where you’ll likely be able to buy it, and the best links to bookmark now

Nintendo has revealed the Switch 2 pre-order date and price of the console. Pre-orders go live on April 8, 2025, and will cost you $449.99 / £395.99 in the UK. We’ve got all the best links to bookmark early, and all the information you need ahead of it all kicking off to ensure you get your console on the June 5 release date.

Ahead of the Switch 2 pre-order date, we’ve done some initial searching and got a library of links to the most reliable Nintendo Switch 2 retailers so that you can get your hands on the console first when things kick off.

As a brief recap, the Nintendo Switch 2 offers big improvements over the original model and features new additions such as magnetic Joy-con controllers and more powerful specs including support for 4K in TV mode. Best of all, the system is fully compatible with all of your favorite original Nintendo Switch games right out of the box, so you won’t need to spend lots building a new library from scratch.

While Switch 2 pre-orders haven’t started yet, we do know that launch titles include Mario Kart World, Super Mario Party Jamboree, and Split Fiction so you’ll be able to jump into a banger of a game and get the most out of your OG Switch games immediately.

We’ll still be updating this page regularly with any more information or up-to-date retailer links that we see in our constant searches so check back here regularly for more options.

One of the first to announce Switch 2 pre-order details has been the official My Nintendo Store. These will be available on an invite-only basis to Nintendo Switch Online members for a limited time.

We expect the Nintendo Switch 2 to be a big seller and potentially even sell out in the first wave of pre-orders, so it’ll pay to be prepared with all the information and links we have on this page.
