Update 27/05/2025: Quick! You can now preorder a Nintendo Switch 2 console in the UK via the My Nintendo Store online (without needing to be pre-invited first). You'll need a Nintendo Account as well as a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership to order, but it looks like the wait is over for Nintendo fans seeking a Switch 2 console or Mario Kart World bundle.

Hoping to secure a Nintendo Switch 2 in time for launch day? The highly anticipated (and highly in demand) console will be hitting shelves worldwide on June 5, 2025 – but if you don't want to take your chances with in-store stock, then these 3 UK retailers are your best bet right now.

Nintendo Store UK (Invite only)
Nintendo Store UK (Invite only): at nintendo.com

Nintendo's official website has Switch 2 preorders in stock, but only for those who have a Nintendo Account, a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership, and have received an invitation to buy in their email accounts.

Update: You can now preorder via the My Nintendo Store without needing an invitation (but you still need a membership/Nintendo account).

Very (Quick! There's still stock!)
Very (Quick! There's still stock!): at very.co.uk

Very is a popular choice for Switch purchases in the UK, and right now (at the time of writing), there's still stock on the console-only and MKW bundle option.

If you've checked the link above and are met with disappointment (sorry), it's worth checking back regularly to see if stock gets replenished.

Smyths Toys Superstore (Click and Collect only)
Smyths Toys Superstore (Click and Collect only): at smythstoys.com

It looks like Smyths has Nintendo Switch 2 consoles available for preorder, but the home delivery option is greyed out, meaning you can only order for click and collection (on June 5th) at your local store.

This option still guarantees that you can get your console on launch day, but you'll need to get out of your gaming chair to go and get it.

ShopTo (Stock remaining)
ShopTo (Stock remaining): at ShopTo.Net

Nintendo Switch 2 stock seems to be rapidly fluctuating over at ShopTo, with the console and bundle deals currently available as a back order. The prices are also reflecting the unstable nature of shifting stock, so keep a close eye on this to bag the best deal.

Currys (only the bigger bundles in stock)
Currys (only the bigger bundles in stock): at Currys

If you're looking to get a few games and accessories with your Switch 2, then you're in luck. It seems that you can't preorder the console on its own, or as the Mario Kart World bundle from Currys – but there are several bundle deals currently in stock:

• Console + MKW + 2X Joy-Cons + 2X Wheels + Camera - all for £569 over at Currys

• Console + Street Fighter 6 + Switch 2 Pro Controller + camera - all for £569 at Currys

EE (Check stock)
EE (Check stock): at EE

EE has been taking pre-orders for the Switch 2, but stock is fluctuating. When I checked last night, the Mario Kart World bundle was in stock for £429.99 but it seems that's no longer the case :((
