It’s a tough time to be a gamer right now. You wait patiently for Nintendo Switch 2 preorders to go live, and then stock runs out in seconds. It all feels very familiar, because we’ve been here before. We’ve experienced the mess of next-gen console releases, so the “coming soon,” “not available,” and “out of stock” notifications are exactly what we expect to see.
Nintendo Switch 2 preorders went live on April 24, but in the blink of an eye, listings for the $449.99 console at Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Walmart were gone. And bundles got the same treatment.

So where does that leave us now? It’s important to not lose hope. Keep tabs on stock tracking websites and social media accounts for timely updates, and sign up for stock alerts from retailers so you’re ready to go when new stock drops. And alternatively, you could always hit that refresh button at your go-to retailer. You might just get lucky.
We’re keeping a close eye on stock from all the major retailers, and will update this page if the bleak situation changes.
