Excitement continues to build for the next-gen console as Best Buy, the global electronics retailer, has officially announced the preorder date for the Switch 2. While the price is still a mystery, Nintendo fans now have a timeline to prepare for the online rush. With the countdown to the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct underway, more details are emerging—so stay tuned for further updates.
A previous Insider report had the pre order date for Nintendo Switch 2 set for April 2, 2025
When Do Switch 2 Preorders Begin?
Mark your calendars! Switch 2 preorders are set to go live on April 9, 2025. According to a Best Buy blog post, Nintendo has officially confirmed this date. With the Nintendo Direct: Switch 2 event on the horizon, there’s a possibility that early sales could kick off during the conference—so stay alert and ready to act fast!
A fresh report from Insider Gaming tells a different story. According to information from a major U.S. retailer, preorders are now expected to launch a week later than initially thought—on April 9—while Nintendo’s official confirmation is still set for April 2.
Additionally, the report hints that preorders will include an exclusive collectible coin. However, retailers are already bracing for a rapid sellout on day one.
