Nintendo Switch 2 Black Friday deals live — I’m tracking all the biggest discounts on games and accessories right now

Nintendo Switch 2’s first Black Friday offers massive savings

Black Friday 2025 marks the first shopping season since the Nintendo Switch 2’s launch, and so plenty of shoppers are hoping to score a deal on a Nintendo console, essential accessories, and, of course, must-play games.

Don’t expect a Nintendo Switch 2 price cut for Black Friday, but you can score a bundle, with either Mario Kart World or Pokémon Legends: Z-A. These offer a $30 saving compared to buying the items individually. However, games and accessories are getting the biggest discounts for the seasonal shopping event. Amazon has Switch 2 accessory deals from just $6. Meanwhile, if you want something new to play on your Switch 2, Star Wars Outlaws is $39 (was $59) and Sonic X Shadow Generation is down to $24 (was $49), and these are just the start of the software savings.

I’ve been tracking all things Nintendo Switch 2 since before the hybrid console even launched in June, and after guiding thousands of readers through the pre-order and initial restock periods, I’m here to highlight all the best Switch 2 deals as we build up to Black Friday. Be sure to follow along if you’re looking to upgrade your gaming setup ahead of the holiday season.

A mouthful of a Switch 2 deal

Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Howdy! I'm Alyse, Tom's Guide's weekend editor taking over for Rory. I just got a Switch 2 for my birthday last week for one game and one game only: Kirby Air Riders 2. I was obsessed with the GameCube version growing up, and I'm super excited to dive back into City Trial and wreak havoc on any of my friends who dare try to collect all the pieces of a legendary vehicle.

Since the game just came out, we're not likely to see any deals for it this Black Friday. But you can get $10 off another superb entry in the series at Walmart right now: Kirby and the Forgotten Land. I really enjoyed my time beating it on Switch, but if you didn't play it the first time around, this version comes optimized for the Switch 2 with faster frame rates, higher resolution, and an additional story line.

While I'm on the subject of playing sports games on the go, the Switch 2 version of EA Sports FC 26 is also on sale for $29 at Amazon. That's a 57% discount. When I reviewed the PS5 port of the latest soccer sim, I did have some issues with the increasingly stale modes, but on pitch, FC 26 is still the best digital recreation of the biggest sport in the world. Being able to play a quick game on Switch 2 is a treat.

Take Madden anywhere for just $29

The novelty of having a sports game on the go via the Nintendo Switch and its successor still hasn't worn off for me. I'm very much a soccer guy, but I know that Madden is the true king (at least in the U.S.). And the good news is that Madden NFL 26 is on sale for $29, which is almost $60 off its full retail price of $59. This is a feature-complete version of the latest Madden game that you can take anywhere.

Sonic's latest adventure is 50% off at Amazon

If you're looking to pick up something to play on your Switch 2 that is still high-quality, but as budget-friendly as possible, Sonic X Shadow Generation is $24. That's a 50% discount off its MSRP. This remaster of Sonic Generations offers the full original game - looking better than ever - alongside a new Shadow-focused chapter where you play as the fan-favorite anti-hero. It's a must-play for fans of fast-paced platforming and seriously good soundtracks.

The best Switch 2 controller deal right now

If you need an extra controller for your Switch 2, perhaps to play some multiplayer Mario Kart or Split Fiction, this PDP Afterglow Wave is on sale for $49, which is $10 off. It's an officially licensed accessory that replicates the popular Switch 2 Pro controller, but at a cheaper price point. Plus, its RGB lights look very snazzy.

Nintendo's own Black Friday sale is LIVE

While retailers like Amazon and Walmart are offering big discounts on all things Nintendo Switch (and Switch 2), the Big-N itself is also running its own Cyber Deals sale. This is your chance to save big on dozens of digital games, all playable on Nintendo Switch 2. Prices start from just $3, and include popular games like Splatoon 3, Hogwarts Legacy, Split Fiction, Luigi's Mansion 3 and many more.

Switch 2's biggest game is $10 off for Black Friday

Mario Kart World Direct

If you didn't pick up the Switch 2 Mario Kart Bundle at launch, and want to circle back to scoop up Mario's latest racing title, Mario Kart World is now $10 discounted at Woot (which is an Amazon company). Even at $70, it's pretty pricey for just a single video game, but Nintendo isn't known for discounting its biggest games, and so that makes this $10 off deal quite a big deal. Plus, you just know you're going to want a copy of Mario Kart for friendly competition with your family over the holidays.

No Switch 2 restock nightmare this holiday season

Cast your mind back to November 2020, and it was virtually impossible to find a PS5 or Xbox Series X in stock. Even the following year, in 2021, it was just as tricky. Fortunately, Switch 2 hasn't suffered from the same shortages. Picking up a console for the holiday is as easy as heading over to your retailer of choice and making your purchase. As noted, the Switch 2 bundles are my personal recommendation, but if you just want the console standalone, Switch 2 is in stock for $499 at Amazon

One of the best Switch 2 port yet is $20 off

Star Wars Outlaws was a pleasant little surprise last year, and now this galaxy-spanning adventure is on the Nintendo Switch 2. And even better, it's one of the console's best blockbuster ports, looking and running very well on Nintendo's portable machine. It's a Black Friday deal that convinced me to click the "buy now" button, and I'm looking forward to diving into an open-world Star Wars adventure on my holiday travels. Star Wars Outlaws is currently on sale for $39 at Amazon.

Switch 2 bundles are your best bet

If you're in the market for a Nintendo Switch 2 console, either for yourself or for holiday gifting, the best deal right now is either the Switch 2 Mario Kart Bundle or the Switch 2 Pokémon Legends Z-A Bundle. Both cost $499 and include the Nintendo Switch 2 console and a flagship game. The former saves you $30 compared to buying separately, and the latter is a $20 discount. That's a pretty solid saving, and you get the in-demand console, alongside an essential new game.
