Nintendo Switch 2 Drops to Just £364 in Today’s Best UK Deals
Amazon UK has cut the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 console to £364, one of the lowest prices seen since launch, as part of a wider round of deals highlighted by IGN. The discount is notable because Nintendo has already confirmed a $50 price increase for the console in the US from September, raising the possibility of a similar rise in the UK, making now a good time for shoppers to buy before prices climb.
The Switch 2 is listed at £378.99 with a further £14.98 knocked off at checkout, bringing the total to £364, down from its £394.99 list price. Alongside the console deal, other notable UK offers include Marvel's Wolverine on PS5 for £57.99 at Smyths or £62.99 at Amazon, Philips shavers and toothbrushes discounted by up to 65%, several LEGO sets (including Pokémon, Van Gogh and FIFA World Cup editions) at all-time low prices, a Corsair K70 Pro TKL keyboard at £79.99, and Star Fox for Switch 2 down to £39.99.
In short
- Nintendo Switch 2 now £364 at Amazon UK, a rare low price
- Comes ahead of a possible UK price rise after US hike
- Other deals include Wolverine preorders, LEGO sets and Philips shavers
Explained simply
The Nintendo Switch 2 is Nintendo's newest gaming console, released as the successor to the hugely popular original Switch. It can be played as a portable device or connected to a television for a larger screen.
Nintendo recently raised the price of the Switch 2 in the United States by $50. In the UK, where the console currently costs £394.99, price rises at major gaming companies usually come to different countries around the same time, so a UK increase is considered possible.
For UK shoppers, the possibility of a future price increase makes the timing of any purchase decision significant. This explains why retail offers on the console are attracting consumer interest, as potential buyers weigh whether to buy now or hold off.
