News / Nintendo Switch 2: Pricing information has been revealed for Switch 2
Didn't have enough space to reveal this in my previous post, sorry.
The Switch 2 officially releases worldwide on June 5th 2025. For the console without Mario Kart World bundled in, it will cost US$449.99 / €469.99 / £395.99 / ¥49980 (restricted Japan only model¹) / ¥69980 (unrestricted model¹).
We don't have enough evidence of this yet, but it looks like games will have a price increase by roughly £15-25 on Switch 2 (for context, most Switch games² cost around £50). It also looks like prices will be slightly discounted if you buy it digitally.
Referring to Mario Kart World since it's probably a full priced game, it costs £74.99 for physical and £66.99 for digital. For Donkey Kong Bananza, it costs £66.99 for physical and £58.99 for digital.
Pre-orders open at different times depending on region. For the UK, it'll be open on the 8th of April on an invite only basis for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers who have held a subscription for 2 years or more, has spent a certain amount of time playing Switch games, shares usage data with Nintendo and receives promotional emails from Nintendo. See more information at https://store.nintendo.co.uk/en/nintendo-switch-2.
¹ Likely due to the weak Yen, there's two different models of Switch 2 in Japan. The restricted Japan only model (~£260 / ¥49980) will only allow Japanese Nintendo Accounts and will only support the Japanese language to prevent resellers. The unrestricted model (~£360 / ¥69880) will allow all region Nintendo Accounts and will support all languages.
² Only major exceptions are Smash Ultimate, Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild afaik which are priced at £60 instead.
