Nintendo Switch 2 restocks live — Best Buy has stock right now

Here’s where to buy a Switch 2 this week

Nintendo Switch 2 restocks

Nintendo Switch 2 restock has been plentiful over the last week. After more than a month of persistent stock shortages, we’re finally seeing constant availability across numerous major retailers. It appears that Switch 2 supply is swiftly catching up with the demand levels.

Retailers like Walmart, Target, Best Buy, GameStop and Amazon have all restocked in recent weeks. And not only are these restocks becoming more frequent, but they’re lasting longer as well. It appears that Switch 2 stock shortages are becoming a problem of the past.

In the U.K., we’ve seen increased availability of Switch 2 for a while. Pretty much since launch, the best-selling hybrid console has been relatively easy to get hold of, and that’s not changing as the summer progresses. Whenever Switch 2 restock appears in the U.K., it typically lasts for several hours, if not entire days.

Nintendo Switch 2 launched on June 5 and costs $449 / £395 standalone and $499 / £429 bundled with Mario Kart World. There is also a new Pokémon Legends A-Z Bundle, which also costs $499 / £429 and is available to pre-order now. It will launch on October 16.

I’ve been tracking Nintendo Switch 2 restocks every single week since the console was first made available to pre-order back in April, and I’m here to bring you the latest updates to help you lock in a console as soon as possible. These are the latest Switch 2 restock updates.
