Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders: Latest updates as console remains sold out at GameStop, Walmart, Target, Best Buy and others


The new console will officially be available on June 5.

Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders are technically open in North America, but if you haven't managed to grab one already, you may have a tough time doing so before the console's June 5 release date. We'll update this post if that changes — particularly as Walmart opens up " Walmart+ Week" sales event — but right now the only other retailer confirmed to accept pre-orders is Nintendo itself. It appears the company will have to seriously ramp up production to keep up with Switch 2 demand: according to Nintendo, 2.2 million people entered the pre-order lottery in Japan alone, which is far more devices than it is expected to deliver in that region on launch day.
