1. US stock
2. UK stock
3. Live updates

Nintendo Switch 2 stock is springing back into action this week, with planned restocks from GameStop today and handhelds hitting UK shelves with far more regularity. That means anyone wondering where to buy Nintendo’s next console could have a clear shot in the near future.

It’s been a long road since those early pre-order days, and the two weeks since the handheld’s launch have been similarly sparse with stock. The Nintendo Switch 2 has flashed on and off the shelves far more frequently since release day, though, with retailers like Antonline in the US and Very, EE, and Amazon in the UK offering regular drops.

This is far from my first rodeo. I first started stock-tracking when the PS5 and Xbox Series X launched and have built up a wealth of experience over the course of the last five years. That means I know all the tips and tricks to making the most of a hectic restock, and which retailers to prioritize in your hunt. I’m taking you through all the latest Nintendo Switch 2 stock drops right here.

Where to buy Nintendo Switch 2: quick stock check

UK

Where to buy Nintendo Switch 2 in the US

Antonline | Check stock
Antonline had a good run last week, but hasn’t had its higher-priced bundles on the shelves for some time now. This one’s a reliable bet in the near-future, though you will need to pick up some extra games and accessories to secure the goods.

Target | Check stock
Target’s latest Nintendo Switch restock was pretty solid, but it’s been quiet ever since. View Deal

Walmart | Check stock
Walmart’s Nintendo Switch 2 stock has been a little quiet recently, despite the retailer’s larger launch event. It may take some time to fill the warehouse again, but it’s certainly worth keeping an eye on. View Deal

GameStop | Check stock
GameStop is due to drop Nintendo Switch 2 restocks today, though the website is still suggesting this is an in-store deal only. There may be more online drops later on, though.View Deal

Best Buy | Check stock
Best Buy was previously reserving Nintendo Switch 2 stock for physical stores, but it looks like that might be changing. The website now states the handheld is simply ‘out of stock,’ which could mean more online drops are on the way. View Deal

Nintendo Store | Check stock
Nintendo hasn’t dropped too much of its own stock since launch day, though is one to watch when that second wave of units hit the shelves. View Deal

Amazon | Check for updates
There has finally been some movement at Amazon in the last few days. While the retailer hasn’t carried anything first-party for some time now, a listing page briefly appeared for the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle and more games are starting to pop back onto the shelves. That listing is currently inactive, but it’s worth keeping an eye on. View Deal

Newegg | Check for stock
Newegg has been selling the Nintendo Switch 2 at a wildly inflated price via its marketplace sellers recently, but my most recent check reveals those rates have been removed from the site. There’s no stock at the moment, but it’s worth seeing if normal MSRP resumes with the next drop.View Deal

Where to buy Nintendo Switch 2 in the UK

✅ Nintendo Store | In stock
Nintendo has just dropped more stock of the Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle, though the handheld by itself remains off the shelves. View Deal

✅ Ebuyer | In stock
Ebuyer has the Mario Kart World bundle on the shelves at its regular RRP, however there’s a wait on that delivery. These units are now set to ship from July 30 – that’s another two months of waiting. View Deal

✅ EE | In stock
EE still has the Nintendo Switch 2 live on the shelves, but it’s still reserved for pay monthly customers. This one adds the handheld to your contract, but you’ll end up paying more than MSRP for it over the course of the full agreement. View Deal

✅ ShopTo | Backorder now
ShopTo has the Nintendo Switch 2 on backorder. Once the retailer has more stock back in stock properly, your order will be processed, but for now, you can add one to your basket and check out. View Deal

Amazon | Check stock
Amazon had the Nintendo Switch 2 on the shelves just yesterday, with the Mario Kart World bundle bouncing around for a good few hours before disappearing. View Deal

Very | Check stock
Very’s latest Nintendo Switch 2 restock held out fairly well, but those bundles have been scooped off the shelves now. It’s taking a few days for this retailer to re-fill its warehouses, so check back towards the end of the week. View Deal

Argos | Check stock
Argos sorts its inventory by post code, so when that restock does jump back into action you may have a better time competing here. View Deal

Currys | Check stock
Currys had the Nintendo Switch 2 in stock yesterday with a range of bundles up for grabs. Unfortunately, none of them included the Mario Kart World package deal, and I can’t see any in stock today, but I’ll keep checking. View Deal

Ebuyer has stock but there’s a catch

The Nintendo Switch 2 is in stock at Ebuyer right now, but there’s a considerable delay on delivery. The retailer won’t even receive its own inventory until August 30, and shipping after that could take even longer. If you’re getting concerned about finding stock, it’s worth keeping this order in the back pocket while you hunt for faster drops.

GameStop is getting ready to drop in the US

GameStop tweeted that it will be running its own Nintendo Switch 2 restocks today, though it’s unclear whether this is online or in store. The website seems to indicate the latter, though it’s still too early to say whether some units will drop on the virtual shelves later on.

Amazon’s Nintendo Switch 2 listing page briefly appeared

It’s inactive now, but it looks like the Nintendo Switch 2 may be on the cards over at Amazon. Finally. The retailer has had a rocky relationship with Ninty for some time now, removing all its first party games and accessories from the shelves. However, those tensions could be easing – this is definitely one to watch.

GameStop’s Nintendo Switch 2 listing looks a little odd

The retailer is slated to offer more Nintendo Switch 2 stock today, but online the handheld actually looks like it’s $10 off. The $449.99 device has been cut down to $439.99 on the website – of course, it doesn’t mean anything if it’s out of stock.

It’s taking roughly five days for UK retailers to restock

I’ve been watching those restock cadences like a hawk over the last week and right now it’s taking about five days for UK stores to drop new handhelds. That can’t be taken as gospel – one site could refill their inventory overnight (or simply offer more stock before it’s even in their hands), while another may struggle to put the Switch 2 on the shelves more than once a month. However, it’s always worth clocking when stores run out and how long it takes for them to come back online.

PSA: You’re paying over £100 more in total if you go for EE’s contract stock

EE does have the Nintendo Switch 2 in stock right now, but it’s only available as part of a larger bundle and only for monthly mobile customers. If eligible, you can add the Mario Kart World bundle, as well as an extra set of Joy-Con, a Switch 2 Camera, and a $50 EE Game Card to your contract for an extra £30 a month with £20 paid today.

I’ve crunched those numbers, though. All those accessories, with the handheld bundle included, comes to £604.97 at RRP. Over the course of two years you’re going to be paying £740.

Ebuyer has shifted its delivery date forward

The August 30 earliest shipping date previously displayed on Ebuyer’s latest Nintendo Switch 2 restock seems to have been brought forward by a month. The site now states that these handhelds will arrive at the retailer’s warehouses on July 30, when delivery processes can begin.

Nintendo is live!

Nintendo has just dropped more stock of the Mario Kart World bundle, with the £429.99 package live on the shelves right now. Interestingly, it doesn’t look like the device by itself is available – but stay tuned, it could spring to life again.
