The Nintendo Switch 2 is slated for a 2025 release, so its arrival is imminent. If you’re eager to add this gaming console to your collection, you might wonder how much it will cost.
Since there is no official release date yet, knowing how much this gaming system will cost can help you start saving and ensure you’re ready to buy it as soon as it goes live. Here’s everything we know about the Nintendo Switch 2’s price.
What is the price of the Nintendo Switch 2?
The official price of the Nintendo Switch 2 hasn’t been revealed yet but will likely be announced during the Nintendo Direct on April 2, which was revealed in the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement trailer. Although an official price hasn’t been shared, there are plenty of leaks suggesting a possible price range.
Some leaks from a retailer who works at a store named Micromania said pre-orders would be starting soon and place the Nintendo Switch 2 price at €399 which translates to roughly $409. This might be upscaled slightly, so the actual price could be closer to $400.
The same leaker said there are 25 games ready to be launched ranging in price from around €69 to €79, which is about $70 to $80. This may also be a slightly upscaled price, meaning games may range from around $60 to $70 instead. Based on the announcement trailer, one of these games seems to be a new Mario Kart.
Several other leaks over the past year also placed the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 at around $400. Although many of the past leaks have been taken down, this seems to be the most common and average price that has been circulating. This means it’s decently likely the Nintendo Switch 2 costs exactly this much or fairly close to it unless changes are made last minute to modify this.
Considering the basic Nintendo Switch costs $299, the Nintendo Switch Lite costs $199, and the Nintendo Switch OLED costs $399, a price point of around $400 for the Nintendo Switch 2 seems pretty on point with the current scale. This is also the price many fans predicted it might cost and the price that most are willing to pay for it.
So far, all we know for sure about the Nintendo Switch 2 is what it looks like and that a new Mario Kart game will be available on it. The Nintendo Direct airing on April 2 will likely provide a lot more insight into the specific details of this console, hopefully including exactly how much it’s going to cost.
