4. LIVE: Latest updates
Nintendo Switch 2 continues to be a tricky console to buy. Retailers are sold out and the sporadic restocks are being snapped up in minutes when they appear.
The hybrid console launched earlier this month (on June 5) and hasn't been consistently available since then. However, more restocks are on the way, and Walmart has confirmed it will restock Switch 2 on Wednesday (June 25).
In the U.K., supply levels have been significantly better, with more frequent Switch 2 restocks, some of which have lasted for hours, if not multiple days. U.K. gamers shouldn't have much trouble buying a Switch this week.
The Nintendo Switch 2 costs $449 / £395 standalone or $499 / £429 bundled with a copy of the popular launch game, Mario Kart World. In this live blog, we'll help you secure a console at base price rather than having to turn to a reseller charging an eye-watering markup (we've seen some ask for $700+).
Here at Tom's Guide, we've got a team of restock experts who have been helping readers purchase hard-to-find tech items for more than five years. So, if you've got a Switch 2 on your shopping list, stick with us and we'll bring you the latest updates and all the retailer links you need to secure yours ASAP.

I'm a Senior Entertainment Editor at Tom's Guide with five years of experience tracking restocks on hard-to-buy items from PS5 and Xbox Series X to the ultra-rare PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection. Over the years, I've learned how to play (and win) the restock game, and I'm using all this expertise to help you pick up a Nintendo Switch 2 this week.
I'm an Editor in Chief at Tom's guide with over a decade's experience in consumer tech journalism. I was there in 2017 when Nintendo launched the first Switch and I've been following the rise of Nintendo's console ever since. Now, with the sequel system out in the wild, I'm here to help you secure yours wherever you're based.
Get your head in the game with the Switch 2 Camera
There's no luck with Switch 2 restocks right now, but you may want to look at all the accessories that will make gaming on Nintendo's latest console all the more fun. And that includes the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera.
It's not for everyone, and it only has limited game support, but we noted in our Nintendo Switch 2 Camera review that it's a relatively affordable webcam with decent image quality to use in games like Mario Kart World. It just adds an extra layer of fun with friends when playing online.
The camera is available at all retailers, so if you're looking to play with pals across borders, the Switch 2 Camera is a good shout.
- Nintendo Switch 2 Camera: $54 @ Walmart
- Nintendo Switch 2 Camera: £49 @ Currys
Sign up to Walmart+ for early access!
This week, Walmart is looking to be your best chance to grab a Switch 2, whether that be just the console or the Mario Kart World bundle. It's set to be in stock at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT on Wednesday, June 25th, but only Walmart+ subscribers will get early access to pick one up.
Walmart+ is a paid subscription service ($98 for its annual plan), but you can get a 30-day free trial if you haven't signed up before. Start that off and you'll be on your way to be the first (likely of many) to swipe a Switch 2 once it's available at Walmart.
While Switch 2 restocks haven't been kind to the U.S. or U.K. currently, there's still sure to be more drops throughout the week, and we'll let you know once they finally arrive.

Switch 2 stock available at BJ's for members
If you're a member, there appears to be Nintendo Switch 2 stock over at BJ's. The console has been in and out of stock over the past few weeks at the retailer, and it's still limited to "1 per member."
There are no other Switch 2 consoles in stock at other retailers at the moment, so this is a good opportunity to grab one for BJ's members!
- Nintendo Switch 2: $449 @ BJ's
Two ways to get a Switch 2 in the UK right now
Finding stock in the U.S. and U.K. is proving difficult at the moment, but there are still two opportunities to grab a Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.K. — but they come with a catch.
First, there's a Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle that comes with a 12-month membership to Nintendo Switch Online over at EE. However, this is a monthly contract, meaning it's £22 per month over 24 months. At least you'll only have to pay £20 upfront.
There's also a Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle at The Game Collection with a bunch of add-ons, including Cyberpunk 2077, the Switch 2 Camera, a 256GB SanDisk MicroSD card and a travel case. This will set you back £609, so a lot more than your regular Switch 2 order, but you do get a few nice extras.
Otherwise, we'll be keeping an eye out for more Switch 2 restocks!
- Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle + Switch 2 Online: £20 (£22 per month over 24 months) @ EE
- Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle + extras: £609 @ The Game Collection
Walmart confirms Switch 2 restock this week
Getting hold of a Switch 2 has been really tough the last few weeks — but Walmart is offering us a ray of hope this week.
The retailer has confirmed to The Shortcut that it will be getting a restock of both the Switch 2 and the Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle later this week. The system will be in stock from 9pm ET / 6pm PT on Wednesday, June 25th.
Unfortunately, you'll need to be a Walmart+ subscriber to get early access. So if you haven't signed up yet, now's your chance.

UK stock has vanished too
If you live in the U.K., then you've probably found it a lot easier to get your hands on a Switch 2 console. Retailers across the pond have seemingly had a steady flow of consoles coming through — but right now it seems very quiet out there.
Neither Amazon nor Argos in the U.K. currently have any stock left and other retailers like Very.co.uk and Game.co.uk are also coming up empty.

A retailer sweep to start the week
The story of the Switch 2 so far has been of stock just trickling through some of the retailers and, sadly it looks like little has changed as we start the week.
It's Jeff managing the blog at the moment and I've started out by checking through all the retailers on our list. There's nothing so far that I can see in any of the big outlets so we'll just have to sit tight for now.
Walmart did confirm last week that it'll get a new shipment in starting at 9 pm Eastern/6 pm Pacific on Wednesday (June 25). Keep in mind that you do need to be a Walmart+ member to purchase the console or the Mario Kart World bundle.
Here's all the links to the retailers again, so you can have a look at your own leisure. Don't worry though, we'll keep checking through as the week goes on.
