It’s been almost a month since the Nintendo Switch 2 launched, and stock is still tricky to come by in the UK. Most major retailers have sold out, but if you’re quick, you can still find it at a handful of shops.
Right now, JD Williams has both the standalone console and the Mario Kart bundle in stock. Very has some bundles available, while EE is still offering the console with Mario Kart World to existing customers. Amazon restocks occur sporadically throughout the day, so you’ll need to keep refreshing the page.
If you’re still trying to get your hands on one, I reckon this will be a big week for Nintendo Switch 2 restocks, so stay tuned. I’m keeping this page updated with all the latest Nintendo Switch 2 stock news and drop info as it happens.

Where to buy the Nintendo Switch 2 right now
Nintendo Switch 2 specs
The Switch 2 might look familiar, but there’s a lot going on underneath. It’s powered by a new custom Nvidia chip, so games don’t just load faster, they look better and run more smoothly. You get 12GB of RAM (up from 4GB on the original Switch), and most of that goes straight into powering games, not just background stuff.
The screen is still LCD, not OLED, but it’s bigger at 7.9in and has 1080p resolution. It supports HDR and a 120Hz refresh rate. Colours pop more, and motion looks buttery-smooth in handheld mode. There’s also DLSS upscaling built in, so older games look better. Sadly, while it supports variable refresh rates, it doesn’t work when docked – just in handheld mode.
Nintendo Switch 2 price
The Nintendo Switch 2 on its own costs £399.99, and the main bundle with Mario Kart World costs £429.99. Buying the bundle saves you £40 compared to picking up the game separately, so it’s better value if you’re planning to grab it anyway.
No big discounts yet – it hasn’t even been out a month, after all – but some retailers have larger, more expensive bundles. These include the new Switch 2 camera (£49, Amazon.co.uk), the Pro controller (£74.99, Very.co.uk) and the official carry case and screen protector (£20.99, Amazon.co.uk), as well as extra games and accessories.
Nintendo Switch 2 launch games
There are plenty of new Nintendo Switch 2 games at launch. Mario Kart World is the big one, but you’ve also got upgraded versions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, plus mammoth games like Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition that really test the console’s muscle.
Other launch day games include Hades 2, Split Fiction, Sonic X Shadow Generations, Street Fighter 6, Survival Kids and Suikoden I & II HD Remaster. You’ve also got Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, and Deltarune Chapters 1–4, plus more niche picks like Fantasy Life i and Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD. Civilization VII and No Man’s Sky are here too, and Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour acts as a mini showcase for the new hardware.
On top of that, loads of older Nintendo titles have been patched with free performance updates, and Wind Waker, F-Zero GX and Soul Calibur II are now available through the new Switch Online GameCube library.
Nintendo Switch 2 – live stock checker and updates
- JD Williams has restocked the Nintendo Switch 2
- There are two Nintendo Switch 2 bundles in stock at Very
- This EE Nintendo Switch 2 bundle has been in stock for nearly a month
JD Williams bundle delivery date drifts to August
11:44 , Alex LeeThe delivery date for the bundle at JD Williams has begun to drift. The retailer now expects the Mario Kart World bundle to be delivered in early August, meaning it’s not really a viable retailer right now.
The standalone console is still expected to be delivered this Friday, however. If you’re looking for the official Mario Kart bundle, I’d recommend waiting for another retailer to restock later this week.
This EE Nintendo Switch 2 bundle has been in stock for nearly a month
11:04 , Alex LeeWhile most retailers have cycled through their Switch 2 stock within days, EE has quietly kept its own bundle in stock for nearly a month, and it’s still available now.
The bundle includes the Nintendo Switch 2 console, a digital copy of Mario Kart World and a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership. You’ll also get 24 months of EE’s Gamer’s Data Pass and Video Data Pass, so you can game and stream without eating into your regular mobile data.
It costs £20 up-front, then £22 per month over 24 months.
Delivery is free and takes between one to three working days. Just bear in mind it’s only available to EE customers, and the cost is added to your monthly mobile bill.
There are two Nintendo Switch 2 bundles in stock at Very
10:24 , Alex LeePrefer to buy a bundle with some accessories to go with your console? Very currently has two bundles in stock.
The first bundle includes the Nintendo Switch 2 console, Mario Kart World, the official camera accessory and a Pro Controller for £555.
The second bundle swaps out the camera for a 256GB SanDisk microSD card. That’s paired with the console, Mario Kart World, and a Pro Controller for £553. They’ll both be delivered on Friday, 4 July.
JD Williams has restocked the Nintendo Switch 2
09:54 , Alex LeeLast week, JD Williams restocked the Nintendo Switch 2 console, and it’s still in stock as of this morning.
If you order it today, it’ll arrive by this Frday, 4 July. It’s currently the only retailer with stock of the console on its own, and the Mario Kart World bundle.
Good morning!
09:25 , Alex LeeMorning all!
Hope you all had a bright and sunny weekend, and if you didn’t manage to pick up a console, I think we’re in for an exciting week for Nintendo Switch 2 restocks.
It looks like most UK retailers are expecting shipments this week, with Very and JD Williams already going live and expecting to have a console with you by Friday. I’ll keep you posted throughout the day.
JD Williams has the Switch 2
Friday 27 June 2025 17:24 , Steve HogartyMeanwhile over at JD Williams, you can get the standalone Switch 2 console for £395.99.
The Switch 2 is in stock at Very
Friday 27 June 2025 17:22 , Steve HogartyVery has restocked its Nintendo Switch 2 bundles with a delivery date of next Friday.
- Switch 2 + Mario Kart World + MicroSD card: £479, Very.co.uk
- Switch 2 + Mario Kart World + Camera + Pro Controller: £555, Very.co.uk
- Switch 2 + Mario Kart World + Pro Controller + MicroSD card: £553, Very.co.uk
- Switch 2 + Mario Kart World + The Legend of Zelda: Tears of Kingdom: £494, Very.co.uk
Ebuyer sells out
Friday 27 June 2025 14:26 , Alex LeeYou can no longer backorder on Ebuyer, either. For now, it looks like the only place you can buy a Nintendo Switch online is through EE.
ShopTo backorders sold out
Friday 27 June 2025 13:15 , Alex LeeBad news, I’m afraid. ShopTo has been a reliable place to backorder the Switch 2 for weeks, but even their backorders have stopped.
If you aren’t up for maniacally refreshing an Amazon tab or signing up to EE just for the sake of a Switch console, a backorder at Ebuyer is now your best option.
Try Amazon in an incognito window
Friday 27 June 2025 10:52 , Alex LeeEvery so often the Switch 2 reappears on Amazon – I assume because someone has cancelled an order.
It’s worth keeping a window open in Amazon, but you might want to clear your cache or use a private browsing window. I’ve found that if you keep the window open too long in a regular browser, site cookies stop you from seeing the stock as it appears.
Who else might drop stock?
Friday 27 June 2025 10:23 , Alex LeeI said yesterday that Argos might drop stock today, and I still think it’s fairly likely, as the retailer has restocked the console every Friday since its launch.
It’s unlikely, but I wouldn’t be too surprised if EE restocked some of its other bundles. The company still has its £30 per month bundle listed on the site, and that includes two Joy Con 2 controllers, a Switch 2 camera, and £50 EE game card.
No changes overnight
Friday 27 June 2025 09:05 , Alex LeeMorning all. There have been no changes overnight, and no new Argos stock. If you want a Switch 2, you’re probably best to wait until more stock arrives in the country next month.
If you still want to buy a Switch 2 right now, the best option is EE – it will arrive in 1-3 days. The catch is that you have to be an EE customer.
Switch 2 consoles are also available on backorder at ShopTo or Ebuyer, but bear in mind that these won’t arrive until next month.
Will Argos restock the Switch 2 tomorrow?
Thursday 26 June 2025 15:21 , Alex LeeThere’s a chance. Argos has restocked the Nintendo Switch 2 every Friday since the console launched three weeks ago.
But it’s not guaranteed. As evidenced so far, this week is a bit of a weird one, and we’ve only seen Nintendo restock the console. I wouldn’t be surprised if the retailer didn’t drop more consoles tomorrow. If it does, Argos should go live at 8am.
Ebuyer has Nintendo Switch 2 consoles available to pre-order
Thursday 26 June 2025 12:00 , Alex LeeThis one’s even further awway, but it’s an option. Independent games retailer Ebuyer is taking pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle,
Stock is expected to arrive on Wednesday 30 July, and orders will be fulfilled on a first-come, first-served basis.
ShopTo has Nintendo Switch 2 stock available on back-order
Thursday 26 June 2025 11:01 , Alex LeeIf you don’t mind waiting for a console, ShopTo has back-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle, with dispatch expected from Thursday 17 July.
Buying through ShopTo will guarantee you a console, even if you have to wait a while. It also saves you the effort of refreshing pages over and over.
EE has had Nintendo Switch 2 stock since it launched
Thursday 26 June 2025 10:31 , Alex LeeIt’s been three weeks, and EE still has the Nintendo Switch 2 in stock for existing customers.
For £22 a month (plus £20 up-front) over 24 months, you get the Nintendo Switch 2 console, a digital copy of Mario Kart World, a full year of Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, and two years of EE’s Gamer’s and Video Data Passes, meaning you can play and stream without touching your mobile data.
The catch, as always, is that you need to be an existing EE customer. If you are, your console will arrive within 1-3 working days.
Why don't any retailers have the console this week?
Thursday 26 June 2025 10:01 , Alex LeeThis is all speculation, but it looks like the next shipment of Nintendo Switch 2 stock isn’t due until next month.
Smyths Toys has updated its stock tracker to say it expects more consoles in July. Up until now, the retailer’s tracker usually listed a specific date range for incoming deliveries. This is the first time it’s switched to a vague monthly estimate.
Most UK retailers share the same supply chain for the Switch 2, which means they tend to receive stock at the same time. It also speaks volumes that it’s only Nintendo itself who has had stock.
That’s why I don’t think we’ll see any more restocks this week, or any of substance, at least.
Amazon is only dropping one or two consoles at a time, this is what I think is happening
Thursday 26 June 2025 09:30 , Alex LeeAmazon keeps drip-feeding one or two consoles into the system at a time. If you refresh either listing for the bundle or console, you might get lucky.
What I think is happening is that Amazon is simply re-releasing cancelled orders, which is why it only has one or two in stock at a time. Refreshing the page and clicking “Buy now” as soon as it comes back in stock is probably your best option.
Morning all! It’s been a terrible week for restocks, which is something I predicted a couple days ago.
Right now, existing customers at EE have it best, as it’s pretty much the only place where you can get a Nintendo Switch 2 right now.
Nintendo Switch 2 is coming in and out of stock at Amazon
Wednesday 25 June 2025 16:21 , Alex LeeAmazon is still releasing Mario Kart World bundles in drips and drabs. It pays to heep refreshing the page throughout the day. I’ve just seen more consoles go live this afternoon.
Very might be about to drop more Nintendo Switch 2 consoles
Wednesday 25 June 2025 15:57 , Alex LeeIf you’re not willing to spend north of £500 for a Nintendo Switch 2 bundle from The Game Collection, then you might want to add Very to your wish list.
The retailer has recently listed a Mario Kart World bundle with a microSD Express card for £479 to its site. It’s not live yet, but it’s just been added. That might mean Very is gearing up to set it live imminently.
Nintendo out of stock
Wednesday 25 June 2025 11:35 , Alex LeeNintendo has run out of stock, too. If you want a Switch ASAP, your best option is The Game Collection, but it’s expensive.
It’s a decent bundle - you get a Switch 2, Mario Kart World, Cyberpunk 2077, a Micro SD Card, the Switch 2 camera and a premium travel kit.
However, it costs more than £600.
Stock wavering but strong at Nintendo
Wednesday 25 June 2025 10:13 , Alex LeeGood morning. After a quiet few days, we’ve seen a lot of retailers run out of stock. There are few options, but right now your best bet for a console in the next few days is Nintendo. There is stock of both the standalone console and the bundle with Mario Kart World.
John Lewis sells out, but Nintendo still has stock
Tuesday 24 June 2025 16:25 , Alex LeeThat went quick. John Lewis has already sold out, so if you’re still looking for the Nintendo Switch 2 – the official storefront is your best bet.
