Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders live updates: Where to find UK stock today

Just last week, Nintendo itself issued an apology to fans stating they would be unable to meet the overwhelming demand faced by the Nintendo Store. And, in any case, they are only offering pre-orders through personal invites to those who have been a Nintendo Switch Online member for more than two years.

Meanwhile, shops like EE, Very and JD Williams have all had stock over the past three weeks but have currently run dry.

At the moment, the best retailer to keep an eye on is Amazon, who are releasing stock in very small waves, but sell out extremely quickly.

You should also keen an eye out for bigger bundles that include the Switch 2 and other accessories. For instance last week, independent retailer Game Collection were running an exclusive pre-order bundle for the console, a Carry Case, two new games and a 256GB Micro SD Card, however, the price was nearly £200 more than the Switch's original RRP – so bear that in mind.

Right now, like the rest of you, we've been obsessively using Stockchecker to see when and where the Switch 2 will appear and will be providing live updates every day for your benefit. To help your chances, we'd suggest bookmarking this page in order to stay up to date with us.

Which UK retailers have the Nintendo Switch 2 in stock?

Pre-orders have opened for the Nintendo Switch 2 across Nintendo and several third-party retailers, although, unsurprisingly, they have been running out of stock faster than Sonic the Hedgehog.

With that in mind, our advice would be to check all the pages to see if there's stock available left, and if not, register your interest at as many different sites as you can.

Amazon

The Nintendo Switch 2 was available for pre-order at Amazon yesterday evening. It has now run out again, but like all stock at UK retailers, we imagine this will change throughout the day, so be very quick.
