Nintendo Switch 2 Price Jumps to $500 Next Week, Buy Now to Save $50

Nintendo is set to raise the Switch 2 price on Tuesday, September 1st. Nintendo Switch 2 Price Jumps to $500 Next Week — Buy Now to Save $50 Eddie Fu

Nintendo will officially raise the price of the Switch 2 to $499.99 next Tuesday, September 1st. This gives you less than a week to pick one up for $449.99.

A truly hybrid console, the Switch 2 can be used in three modes: handheld for on-the-go, tabletop, and docked while connected to a TV. However, its biggest appeal is access to Nintendo exclusives like Mario Kart World , Pokémon Pokopia , and two Legend of Zelda games: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom .

So if you’re not looking to play graphics-intensive AAA titles, the Switch 2 at $450, or even $500 if you miss the window, is a great buy compared to an entry-level Xbox Series S at $499, base PlayStation 5 for $599, or the all-digital Xbox Series X for $749.
