Nintendo Switch 2 Restock Tracker

July 22, 2025, 11:41 AM EDT

The Nintendo Switch 2 is an excellent follow-up to the original, but has been hard to find in stock at most online retailers since its launch in June. We’re keeping an eye on availability, and will update this story whenever we see supply at a large online retailer — you know, one that lasts more than 10 minutes before going back out of stock.

Where to buy the Nintendo Switch 2 right now

Nintendo Switch 2 Console + Mario Kart World Bundle

As of writing, we’re seeing the most consistent availability on the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle, which includes the console and the new Mario Kart World game. Target has availability online, so it’s the most convenient option. Gamestop has inventory in-store, so you’ll have to call your local store ahead of time to double check inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions

New gaming consoles are typically very popular, and hard to get your hands on for the first few months. This was the case with the Playstation 5, which launched in November of 2020, and remained difficult to find in stores for months after release (the covid-19 pandemic and supply chain issues exacerbated this problem).

I expect the Nintendo Switch 2 to become easier to find online and in stores by 2026.

Yes. The Nintendo Switch 2 will play both physical and digital Nintendo Switch games along with new Switch 2 titles. Certain titles may not be supported or fully compatible, according to the brand. You can also share Nintendo Switch 1 games to your Nintendo Switch 2 console virtually through the new Virtual Game Cards system.
