Nintendo Switch 2 Price Leak: What We Know So Far
Price Leak Confirmed?
We’ve been tracking Nintendo Switch prices closely for years, and it looks like we may have our first glimpse at the price of the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. A CostCo employee has allegedly leaked the price of the new console, which is set to retail at $499.99 CAD. This could translate to a US price point of $348.58, which is around the same as the Switch OLED.
Photos Confirm the Leak
The leak comes in the form of a photo of a retail label, which was snapped by a CostCo employee. The image shows the price point of $499.99 CAD, which is the Canadian price. If the US price point is confirmed, it would be around the same as the Switch OLED, which is currently priced at around $300.
Unverified Leak, But…
It’s worth noting that this is an unverified leak, and the photo could have been faked. However, Famiboard, the source of the leak, does have a track record of accurate leaks in the past.
What’s Next?
We’ll have to wait until the Nintendo Direct event on April 2 to get official confirmation of the price and launch date of the Nintendo Switch 2. We’re also hoping to learn more about the types of games that will be available on the new console, as well as the new button and out-of-the-box functionality of the Joy-Cons.
