Pre-orders for the highly anticipated console will now begin on April 24, 2025 and accessories will bear the brunt of tariffs

Following an initial delay, Nintendo has set the preorder date for its Switch 2 console for April 24. The Japan-based company has also decided to keep the upcoming product’s pricing at the previously announced $449.99 price tag amid President Donald Trump’s tariffs policy.

After Trump's tariffs hit pause on the Switch 2's rollout in the U.S., we finally got some new details this week. Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders will kick off on April 24, and the standalone Switch 2 will keep its $449 price tag as elsewhere in the world.
