Update: major UK retailers have discounted the Nintendo Switch 2, offering a notable price break on the newer Nintendo home-handheld hybrid.
The console launched in June 2025 at £395.99, and was later repriced to £419.99 amid global component shortages.
As of late September 2026, Argos and Smyths are listing the Switch 2 for £354.99, a reduction that Amazon UK has since matched.
Retail context and verified pricing
This £354.99 price point represents the lowest widely available retail price for the Switch 2 in the UK market since the console's launch.
Retailers have not published an end date for the reduced price; customers should expect availability and offers to change as stock levels move.
The discount equates to a saving of approximately £65 compared with the higher post-increase retail price.
Rewritten statements for clarity
- Reporting on retailer actions: Retailers including Amazon UK, Argos and Smyths are currently offering the Switch 2 at £354.99 in the UK, making it the most affordable listed price for the console at this time.
- On urgency and availability: Retailers have not confirmed how long the discounted price will last, so buyers are advised to act quickly while stocks and pricing remain favorable.
Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 and related SKUs
Nintendo is planning a Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 edition, scheduled for release on 29 October 2026 with a listed RRP of £429.99 in the UK.
At the time of reporting, demand for the Zelda-themed console is high and it is sold out at many retailers.
What this means for UK shoppers
The current retailer discount provides a clear buying window for consumers who have been waiting for a better price on Switch 2 hardware.
The saving at Argos, Smyths and Amazon UK could cover the cost of an additional game purchase at typical UK retail prices.
For shoppers focused on digital purchases, note that this discount applies to physical retail channels rather than Nintendo’s eShop, which handles digital software sales rather than hardware.
