A new leak from an anonymous source suggests that the official price of the Nintendo Switch 2 could be higher than expected, potentially ranging from $449 to $499. This would put it at a premium price point compared to the original Switch and its upgraded model, the Switch OLED.
The source claims that the top-end price would likely be for a bundle with the new Mario Kart game teased in the announcement trailer. However, this seems high, especially considering Nintendo’s usual price points and the growing competition from handheld PC systems like the Steam Deck.
Industry analysts have conflicting opinions on the Switch 2 price, with some suggesting $400 as the sweet spot. However, it’s likely that the console will be priced higher due to inflation and new technology costs.
With a rumored release in late 2025, fans are advised to start saving if they plan to purchase the Switch 2 soon. The upcoming Nintendo Direct on April 2, 2025, is expected to reveal more information about the console, including its official price and launch titles.
