Which UK retailers are running Nintendo Switch pre-orders?

Pre-sales for the Nintendo Switch 2 are (informally) available at multiple third-party vendors, but stocks are depleting rapidly. Nintendo will start official pre-orders on the 8th of April.

Keeping that thought in mind, here’s what we recommend: Take a look at each page to find out if any items are still in stock, and if they aren’t, express your interest on multiple websites.

Very

On Thursday, 3rd April, it appeared that a pre-order page for something was opened, but the stock has since run out. However, you can still pre-order various new accessory options for the Switch 2, such as the camera and Switch Pro controller.

If you meet specific criteria such as being a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber for over two years, regularly playing purchased Nintendo Switch games, or agreeing to receive promotional emails from Nintendo, you might be eligible to receive an invitation link.
