If the alleged leaked price of the Switch 2 indicates authenticity, it will prompt you to immediately purchase Nintendo's upcoming console.
With the highly anticipated release of the Nintendo Switch 2 just around the corner, speculation about its price has been rife. Here's a breakdown of the current pricing information available.
According to reliable sources, the Nintendo Switch 2 standard model retails at $449.99 in the U.S., with a premium bundle priced around $499.99 [1][2][4]. This confirmed console price contrasts with a reported €364.99 figure from Italian retailer Gamesandmovies.it [3]. However, it appears that this €364.99 figure is more likely a pre-order guarantee price from the retailer, rather than an official or leaked final price.
The price increase announcements from Nintendo apply only to the original Switch family, with the Switch 2 console price remaining unchanged for now [2][3][4]. Price differences across regions, such as Europe, can vary due to exchange rates and local taxes, but there is no corroboration from official sources or credible leaks supporting a Switch 2 price as low as around €365.
If we compare the potential price of $399 for the Nintendo Switch 2, it would be $100 cheaper than the PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition. However, if Trump's new tariffs are implemented, as he claimed during a recent speech at the House GOP Issues Conference, the Nintendo Switch 2's price could potentially rise to $560 [5].
It's worth noting that the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) has filed a report predicting these tariffs could make game consoles up to 40% more expensive [6]. The Xbox Series X, priced at $499, and its Digital Edition at $449, could potentially be more expensive than the Nintendo Switch 2 if it launches at $399 [7].
Mat Piscatella, head of video game industry analysis website Circana games, suggests that early adopters of the Nintendo Switch 2 may not be very price-sensitive, which could potentially allow Nintendo to set a higher price point [8].
The Nintendo Switch 2 is scheduled for release on June 5, 2025, at a cost of $449, according to official announcements [9].
