Nintendo Switch 2 price drop: Argos and Smyths list console at £354.99
Nintendo's follow-up hardware, the Switch 2, has appeared at a reduced street price in the UK, with major high-street retailers Argos and Smyths currently listing the console for £354.99.
The discount represents a £65 saving compared with the console's most recent retail price after a mid-2025 adjustment.
Background and launch pricing
The Switch 2 launched in June 2025 with an initial UK price of £395.99.
Nintendo later increased the recommended retail price across multiple regions to £419.99, citing global component shortages as a contributing factor.
The current offers from Argos and Smyths sit well below that figure, making them the cheapest widely available options in the UK at present.
Retail availability and timeframe
Retailers have not confirmed whether the £354.99 listings are a temporary stock-clearing promotion or part of a longer-term repricing strategy.
The original report recommended that shoppers move quickly to secure the reduced price while units remain available.
Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 bundle
Nintendo is also preparing a Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 bundle, priced at £429.99 and due on 29th October.
Demand for the themed model has been strong; at the time of reporting, the Zelda 40th Anniversary edition was sold out at a number of retailers.
Affiliate disclosure and reporting note
The outlet's coverage included an affiliate-link disclosure indicating that some links may provide a small percentage of a sale to the publisher.
The report was filed by Ollie Reynolds.
What this means for buyers and the market
For UK consumers seeking a Switch 2, the Argos and Smyths price represents an immediate, verifiable discount against the console's recent adjusted price.
Buyers monitoring the Nintendo eShop or official Nintendo retail listings should note the variance between street-level promotions and Nintendo's recommended retail price.
For industry watchers, the promotional pricing could influence short-term sales velocity, but neither Nintendo nor the retailers have provided an official statement confirming a permanent repricing.
For now, the discounted listings at Argos and Smyths are the clearest route to pick up a Switch 2 for £354.99 in the UK.
