Along with an extra boost of power, the Nintendo Switch 2 comes with a notably higher price tag.

The price of Nintendo’s next console has been a topic of much speculation over recent months, but now the company has finally confirmed the details.

Nintendo unveiled the Switch 2 in full during a special Direct presentation, including the console’s launch date and games line-up.

While the price wasn’t actually announced during the presentation, Nintendo has subsequently confirmed it on its store pages, and it’s fairly reasonable in comparison to other consoles.

As confirmed on by Nintendo, the base Nintendo Switch 2 will be priced at £395.99 in the UK when it launches on June 5, 2025. A Switch 2 bundle with a digital copy of Mario Kart World will cost £429.99.

Analysts expected the Switch 2’s price to be around £400, but other estimates put it as high as $499 in the US. It’s unclear, however, if the final Switch 2 price has been impacted by the recent US tariffs.

Those who have already won tickets will be able to go hands-on with the Switch 2 early for free at the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience. The worldwide tour kicks off April 4, 2025 with events in Paris and New York, before it arrives in London for its only UK stop on April 11-13.

The tour will continue across Europe, the US, Oceania, and Asia until June.
