As we get closer to the console’s launch, here’s all the best places where you can pre-order the Nintendo Switch 2.
The frenzy around last month’s blowout for the Nintendo Switch 2 may have calmed down somewhat, but anticipation only looks set to build as we approach the console’s launch.
The Switch 2’s arrival on June 5, 2025 is officially less than a month away now, and many retailers have sold out around the world, in the face of unprecedented demand.
As the main highlight of the launch line-up, Mario Kart World looks set to be the game of the summer, with interconnected race tracks in an open world you can freely explore, along with the stellar new Knockout mode.
At launch, the Switch 2 base console costs £395.99, while a limited time Mario Kart World bundle is priced at £429.99. This bundle knocks off £33 from the game’s digital price (£66.99), so it essentially costs half as much.
While many UK retailers have sold out at the time of writing, stock comes and goes often, so it’s worth checking back at the below links.
