US: Metroid Prime 4 Beyond (Switch 2) | $69.99 at Amazon

UK: Metroid Prime 4 Beyond (Switch 2) | £64.99 at Nintendo UK (Free Gifts)

Metroid Prime 4 Beyond pre-orders are primed and ready for action, and right now, you can secure your copy for the Switch or the Switch 2.

The highly anticipated first-person shooter is available for both handhelds, so you don't have to worry if you haven't yet leveled up to the Switch 2. Of course, the Switch 2 version available from $69.99 at Amazon is equipped with mouse controls, 4K support in docked mode, and HDR support, which is unique to the new Ninty handheld. However, OG Switch owners can take advantage of the lower $59.88 (Amazon) price instead.

The Switch game is set to launch on December 4, 2025, so I've grabbed all the US and UK pre-order links you need to secure your copy in time for the big day. If you're expecting some out-of-this-world pre-order bonuses, only Nintendo UK is providing the goods. While stock lasts, you can get a desk mat and holographic sticker set bundled with your UK pre-orders, and even a metal keyring exclusively for original Switch orders.
