Based on how the first Nintendo Switch launch went down, customers may be able to buy the Nintendo Switch 2 as soon as June 2025.

Everything we know about how to get your hands on the upcoming Switch 2, including potential pricing, retailers, and launch games.

Nintendo finally revealed the Switch 2 on January 16 with a teaser video on YouTube. Naturally, fans are already wondering when preorders for the new console will be available. Unfortunately, Switch 2 preorders are not available yet,

Of course, Nintendo's own online store is going to be a safe bet. Listings will likely go live as soon as Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders are actually announced - but stock will move particularly quickly. This is where everyone is heading, so it can pay off to think outside the box.

Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer made it clear that Xbox plans to bring games to the Nintendo Switch 2 when it launches later this year.

Best Buy isn't taking Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders yet, but the retailer is allowing you to register your interest in the console. This is completely free and means you'll be contacted when there is more information available. If you're already sold on the Switch 2, it's worth signing up as the console could sell out quickly.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to arrive with upgraded features, like an overall bigger size with a larger LCD touchscreen, Joy-Con controllers, and a kickstand. It will be backward compatible so current Nintendo Switch 1 owners can play most of their own games when they upgrade to the Nintendo Switch 2.

Here's our best guess at everything we'll be playing on the Nintendo Switch 2 when it finally launches later this year.

Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer says he’s “really looking forward to supporting” Nintendo with the company’s Xbox games, a strong indication that more previously exclusive titles from Xbox Game Studios are bound for Nintendo Switch 2.
