As part of an hour-long presentation, the Nintendo Switch 2 release date was announced for June 5th in a recent Nintendo Direct. However, despite some time to go before the new handheld console hybrid launches, Switch 2 pre-orders are already starting to roll out. You may have heard about delays to pre-orders in the US due to tariffs, but this hasn’t halted plans in regions such as the UK.
With pre-orders going live, we’ve already seen some Nintendo Switch 2 scalpers on marketplace sites such as eBay. However, we’d recommend sticking to a trusted retailer such as the ones we’ve curated down below.

Nintendo Switch 2 pre order details
Pre-orders for the Switch 2 went live as early as April 8th in the UK, with Nintendo offering a console-only model and a bundle with the newly announced Mario Kart World. In the US, pre-orders were set to start on April 9th, but this was delayed as Nintendo had to “assess the potential impact of tariffs“. The good news is that a new date has been announced, with an official statement revealing that US and Canada pre-orders start on April 24th.
As you may expect, you can pre-order the Switch 2 directly from the Nintendo website, but it isn’t the only place you’ll find it. Based on the Nintendo UK website, pre-ordering directly from Nintendo means you’ll need to have had a Switch Online membership for at least two years, continuously. There is also some playtime criteria, as stated below.
How much do Nintendo Switch 2 pre orders cost?
Nintendo has officially announced the prices for the Switch 2, as detailed below. There was some uncertainty about the pricing, especially in the US, due to ongoing tariffs. However, despite this, Nintendo has announced that its pricing model is unchanged.
Region | Price (Nintendo Switch 2) | Price (Nintendo Switch 2 & Mario Kart World bundle) |
---|---|---|
US | $449.99 | $499.99 |
UK | £395.99 | £429.99 |
Canada | $629.99 | $699.99 |
What Nintendo Switch 2 pre order bundles are available?
If you’re looking to get the Nintendo Switch 2 on launch day, there’s a decent chance you’ll also want a new game to go along with it. There are several launch titles for the console, including Mario Kart World and Switch 2 Editions of The Legend of Zelda’s Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom entries.
However, only one game is currently bundled with the Switch 2 for pre-order – Mario Kart World. There are also other Nintendo-developed titles such as the Switch 2 Welcome Tour (yes, you actually have to pay for this) and upcoming Metroid Prime 4, though the exact release date for the latter remains unknown.
