Nintendo is raising the price of its upcoming Switch 2 by $50 starting Tuesday, September 1. The base model with 256GB of storage and no included game is set to increase from $449.99 to $499.99, according to reporting from multiple outlets.
Both sources note that Nintendo provides advance notice ahead of the change, with the new pricing scheduled for the start of September. While one outlet frames the update as a reminder that the higher cost begins next week, another emphasizes consumer timing around the shift, describing the increase and urging buyers to purchase before the price change takes effect. Each outlet also points to Nintendo’s planned bundles alongside the new base pricing, though the specific bundle details are not fully aligned in the available excerpts.
Overall, the agreed-upon development is that the Switch 2’s standard 256GB model priced at $449.99 moves to $499.99 on September 1, with the difference applying to shipments after that date.
