GameStop has shared details on how you can secure a Nintendo Switch 2 unit at their stores. Acquiring a new console during launch has become quite a hassle in recent times. The struggles to obtain a fresh piece of hardware on the first day are mainly due to limited stocks, but things reached an unprecedented level about five years ago with the release of the PS5 and Xbox Series X. These consoles were incredibly popular, and problems with supply chains and reselling led to significant difficulties in obtaining one for over a year. Matters eventually normalized, but this experience has left many potential Nintendo Switch 2 buyers with concerns.
Starting April 24th, the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 will begin its pre-orders for U.S. customers. Although a decent quantity is expected, securing one might need persistence due to high demand. Earlier today, it was verified that the Nintendo Switch 2’s price remains unchanged at $450, alleviating concerns about a price increase following recent tariff negotiations. However, we can’t predict exactly how many Switch 2 consoles will be available for pre-order, but given its popularity, it’s likely to sell out swiftly. Additionally, beware of scalpers looking to capitalize on the console’s high value by reselling it at a premium.
GameStop Announces Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Order Details and Midnight Launch
they will begin taking in-store pre-orders when their stores open (usually around 10AM, but check your local store’s hours) and also online at 11AM ET. On June 5th/June 4th respectively, a midnight release for the Nintendo Switch 2 will take place at all GameStop locations across the country at 12AM ET/9PM PT.
GameStop will commence the pre-sale of Switch 2 in their physical stores as they open, and online sales will start at 11 AM Eastern Time on April 24.

GameStop plans to offer a trade-in program where customers can exchange their old Nintendo Switch consoles for a new one, potentially the Nintendo Switch 2, while keeping all their data intact. However, they haven’t revealed specifics on how this will work yet, as it might be impractical to perform the data transfer process in the store for each customer, requiring them to unbox the new console and go through the setup process.
As a passionate gamer, I’m thrilled to share that it won’t just be GameStop hosting the midnight launch for the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. Best Buy has officially confirmed they’ll be partaking in a late-night event in June. However, not every store may participate. As of now, it’s uncertain if other retailers will join in the midnight fun, but rest assured, Best Buy and GameStop are your top picks if you’re eagerly waiting for this release.
If you’re planning to get your games delivered, it seems Amazon won’t be carrying any Nintendo Switch 2 units due to a disagreement between the companies. However, this situation might improve in the future. For now, consider looking for a Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order elsewhere if you don’t want to miss out.
