Since the unveiling of the latest Nintendo console, there’s a lot of curiosity about how much the Nintendo Switch 2 will cost.
It’s yet unknown when the Switch 2 will hit the market, hence we can’t determine its price just yet. However, speculations are rife, and we’re eager to make our own guesses!
Since the upgraded Switch 2 boasts increased power, revamped Joy-Con controllers, a bigger display, and a fresh dock design, it’s reasonable to anticipate that its price will surpass the initial Switch model. The exact amount of the price difference remains to be revealed in the upcoming sections.
Explore our Nintendo Switch 2 price projection, which is derived from speculations and taking into account the original Switch’s launch price.
What do the Nintendo Switch 2 price rumours say?
Speculations hint that the potential cost for the Switch 2 might range from approximately £350 to £450. Given these estimates, it seems that the Switch 2 is anticipated to be roughly (and possibly exceed) £100 higher in price compared to the original Switch.
Analysts discussing with IGN estimate that the price of Switch 2 could be around $400. They believe this price point, approximately £325-350, is an ideal range, often referred to as a “sweet spot”. Additionally, they argue that setting the console’s price above $400 would exceed a significant psychological barrier, making it less accessible to a broader audience.
According to a recent update by Nick Baker, one of the co-founders of Xbox Era, on his social media platform (previously known as Twitter), he revealed that they were informed the price range for the upcoming Switch 2 will be around $449-$499. The more expensive option of $499 includes the new Mario Kart game. You can find his post below:

After accounting for inflation, the estimated prices shown range from approximately £370 to £420 in British pounds. We’ll discover shortly if these speculations prove accurate.
How much did the Nintendo Switch 1 cost?
Initially, the Nintendo Switch retailed at a price of £279.99 upon its release in 2017 within the United Kingdom. Given the upgraded specifications of the upcoming Switch 2, we anticipate it will carry a higher price tag.
Without further notice, we expect an additional £100 to set the price of the Switch 2 at approximately £379.99. The ultimate price gap between the original and the new console remains uncertain; only time can reveal the exact difference.

Our Nintendo Switch 2 price prediction
According to the rumors we’ve heard and our observations of the console so far, we anticipate that the cost of Switch 2 could range from around £379.99 to £449.99. The higher end of this price range might include a game (perhaps the latest Mario Kart?) as part of a bundle deal.
It’s possible that Nintendo might choose a slightly reduced price, but considering a £350 cost and approximately £100 higher than the original Switch, it seems plausible. However, the ultimate decision could hinge on the level of power the Switch 2 offers.
Regardless of circumstances, it’s expected that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be priced lower than both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X to some degree.
Absolutely, as soon as Nintendo publicly announces the pricing for the Switch 2 (expected during the Nintendo Direct scheduled for 2nd April), we’ll make sure to update this page promptly.
