If you’ve been searching desperately for the Nintendo Switch 2, it’s time to mark your calendars. Walmart has confirmed the exact date and time you’ll be able to buy the console online, and you don’t have long to wait.
Since launch, the Switch 2 has been flying off the shelves. In the U.S. alone, Nintendo sold 1.1 million units during launch week, breaking the PlayStation 4’s long-standing debut record. Globally, it racked up 3.5 million sales in just four days, making it the fastest-selling Nintendo console of all time.
It’s been near-impossible to find in stock ever since. Most drops sell out within minutes, and Walmart’s restock isn’t likely to be any different. If you’ve been refreshing product pages for weeks, or are just fed up watching everyone else play, this might finally be your chance.
Nintendo Switch 2 and Mario Kart World: $499, Walmart.com
Walmart has announced it will be restocking both the standalone Nintendo Switch 2 console and the Mario Kart World bundle on Wednesday 25 June. Paid Walmart+ members will have access one hour earlier than everyone else.
The early access drop kicks off at 9pm ET. While Walmart hasn’t officially revealed when it’ll open to the general public, it’s likely to be 10pm ET, assuming any stock is left. The bundle includes the Nintendo Switch 2 and a copy of Mario Kart World.
Both the console and bundle will be available to buy online only, with options for home delivery or store pickup where available. You’ll need a paid Walmart+ membership to access the early drop, and trial accounts may not be eligible. A Walmart+ membership costs $12.95 per month or $98 per year.
