The Nintendo Switch 2 has reached its lowest price ever at Argos, just months before Nintendo raises the retail price. The console, released in June 2025 as the successor to the original Switch, has seen fluctuating stock levels but is now available for £380 at Argos, down from the usual £395.99. Argos labels this a special offer and confirms it as the lowest price ever at the retailer.
Price Increase Confirmed for September 2026
Nintendo announced last month that the Switch 2 will see a price increase from September 1, 2026. While the exact new UK price is unconfirmed, the console will rise by $50 in the US and €30 in Europe. Nintendo attributes this to changes in market conditions, particularly the rising cost of RAM and storage components due to AI data centre demand.
Better Deals Elsewhere
Although Argos offers a strong deal, Amazon currently undercuts it with the Switch 2 at £369.95 for the standard black model with blue and red Joy-Con controllers. The Switch 2 features a larger display, bigger Joy-Cons with magnetic attachment, and GameChat functionality.
Bundles Available
For those seeking games, Amazon offers the Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle at £424.94, including an open-world racing game. Another bundle with Pokémon Pokopia costs £427.90. The console retains the hybrid handheld and docked mode of its predecessor, contributing to its ongoing success.
Heavier Design Note
Potential buyers should note the Switch 2 is heavier than the original, which may affect ergonomics for some users. These deals exclude games unless bundled, so factor in additional costs.
