The Switch 2 is $50 off at Woot for new customers
Retailer Woot is offering a discount on the Nintendo Switch 2 as part of a week-long sale marking its 22nd anniversary, giving shoppers a rare chance to save on the console before Nintendo raises its price in September. The console normally retails at $449.99, and the deal is aimed particularly at new Woot customers, who stand to save the most.
Using the code GIFT26 at checkout, existing Woot account holders get $22 off, while new customers receive the full $50 discount. The offer runs until 25 July 2026 at 11:58pm CT, or until stock runs out, and the code can only be used once per account. The saving is notable because discounts on the Switch 2 have been scarce, and buyers may want to act soon, as Nintendo is set to raise the console's price to $499.99 from 1 September 2026, with no confirmation on whether a discounted bundle offer will continue afterwards.
In short
- Woot cuts Switch 2 price by up to $50 for new customers
- Deal uses code GIFT26, ends 25 July 2026
- Nintendo raises Switch 2 price to $499.99 from September
Explained simply
Nintendo's Switch 2 gaming console is currently available at a discount through Woot, an online retailer. Price reductions on newly released gaming hardware are uncommon, making this offer noteworthy.
Nintendo manufactures and sets the price for the Switch 2, whilst Woot is a major online marketplace offering the discount. The company has maintained consistent pricing since the console's launch earlier this year.
The Switch 2's recommended retail price is set to increase in September, making any discounts more valuable to consumers considering a purchase. This planned price rise means the current window for savings may be limited.
