Years of rumor-mongering and Tagsleaks have been put to rest. We finallyhave a price and release date for Nintendo Switch 2, straight from the mothership.
During its big Nintendo Direct stream on Wednesday morning, Nintendo showed off a bunch of games and new features, as expected. However, for many, the biggest news is that the console is launching on June 5, 2025.
The starting price for the Nintendo Switch 2 is $449.99. That's $150 more than the Nintendo Switch's original launch price of $299.99, but $50 less than the PS5 and Xbox Series X's launch prices of $499.99.
The release date is roughly in line with what we expected based on earlier news reports and leaks. June is an unusual time for any other company to launch a console, but for Nintendo, it makes some sense. Early adopters can purchase the initial supply and enjoy a launch lineup that includes Mario Kart Worldwhile Nintendo builds up additional supply and more games for the holiday season and beyond.
At last, we can finally stop listening to random leakers on message boards.
