Nintendo has confirmed the Nintendo Switch 2's new UK price — it's only going up by £24

Nintendo has officially revealed the new UK price for the Nintendo Switch 2, which is set to rise by £24 next month. The updated price will go from £395.99 to £419.99, effective September 1, 2026. This price increase, announced earlier for the US, Canada, Europe, and Japan, is attributed to ongoing market conditions, including the global RAM crisis driven by high demand for AI data centers.

Nintendo expressed appreciation for fans' enthusiasm despite the pricing adjustments. The US price will increase from $449.99 to $499.99, Canada from $629.99 to $679.99, Europe from €469.99 to €499.99, and Japan from ¥49,980 to ¥59,980.
