Nintendo has announced price rises for Switch 2 consoles across the globe, blaming “changes in market conditions.”
“Given that the impact of various changes in market conditions is expected to extend over the medium to long term, price revisions are also planned outside Japan,” Nintendo said.
In the U.S., Switch 2 is going up by $50, from $449.99 to $499.99. In Canada, Switch 2 rises from $629.99 to $679.99. In Europe, Switch 2 goes up from €469.99 to €499.99.
The price rises kick in on September 1, 2026. Nintendo warned price rises for Switch 2 and the original Switch are coming in other regions.
“We sincerely apologize for the impact these price revisions may have on our customers and other stakeholders, and we deeply appreciate your understanding,” Nintendo said.
