Tue 22nd April update: This is going to be a big week for Switch 2 buyers in the US. With the console's price now reconfirmed, pre-orders go live at big retailers on the 24th – but check the details below for each one's timings.
The Switch 2 has had a rocky month in the US, and it's not even out yet. After a blockbuster Nintendo Direct finally unveiled the console in all its glory, Nintendo was almost immediately forced to pause pre-orders in the region because of Trump's massive tariffs.
Now, after some deliberation, it's confirmed that the launch price for the Switch 2 will hold, at $449.99, although some accessories like the new Pro Controller have newer, increased price tags. More importantly for you, though, this means that the big US retailers have started to announce their plans for pre-order launches.
There's no escaping the fact that the Switch 2 can't match the PS5 Pro when it comes to power, but it's still a massive improvement over Nintendo's original and OLED consoles. That's true whether you're coming at it from a design perspective or just looking at graphical capabilities. We've gone hands-on with the console and can't wait to get more time with it.
Of course, as with any console launch, the games are hugely important, too. The Switch 2's enhanced editions are a good start, while Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza will be day-one must-haves (well, month-two in the case of the latter).
So, if you're keen to pre-order this little beast of a console, we've done the legwork for you, and gathered the biggest US retailers in one place, with stock and pre-order information to peruse and plan around – check them out below. If you're in the UK, meanwhile, never fear: we have a dedicated UK Switch 2 stock tracker for you, too.

A huge week for US pre-orders
It's been a tumultuous few weeks for those of you in US looking to get your hands on a Switch 2 – the console's pre-orders looked in jeopardy for a bit. Now, though, everything looks at least temporarily rosier. It's been confirmed that the price will stay at $449.99, for one thing, at least for the launch period.
Moreover, as you'll have seen above, retailers are popping up everywhere to announce their pre-orders will start on 24 April, which makes that a date to circle in your calendar, for sure.
