Switch 2 pre-order at My Nintendo Store: requirements to get an invite


The next Switch 2 pre-order date is May 8 from the My Nintendo Store

I’ll break it down below, but remember: your best chance to get a Switch 2 pre-order is to subscribe to The Shortcut and join our Substack Chat for instant alerts. That's less restrictive than the two-year requirement placed on UK and EU My Nintendo buyers, but it's still enough to make many people ineligible. The next requirement that might catch people out is that you need to have accumulated at least 50 total gameplay hours on a Nintendo Switch by April 2, 2025.
