The highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 is set to release on June 5, 2025, with a price tag of $449.99. Preorders began on April 23 from Nintendo and on April 24 at various retailers, including Target, GameStop, Walmart, and Best Buy.
However, due to high demand, many online preorders have sold out, leaving gamers scrambling to secure their console. Retailers are struggling to keep up with the demand, causing low-stock issues for those trying to order now.
To preorder the Switch 2 at Nintendo’s website, you’ll need a Nintendo account, a Nintendo Switch Online membership, and at least 50 hours of gameplay data. Delivery by June 5 is not guaranteed due to high demand.
As of now, preorders are out of stock at several retailers, including Target, GameStop, Walmart, and Best Buy. The console will cost $449.99. We recommend checking the retailers’ websites for availability updates or visiting their stores in person to see if they have any remaining stock.
