There is little doubt that the Switch 2 is going to be the hottest hardware this year. After years of rumors, Nintendo officially revealed its newest console Thursday morning, and a lot of Nintendo fans are excited to get their hands on it, which means pre-orders will likely be hard to come by.
The Switch 2 unveiling didn’t reveal much beyond the look of the new console, including important details such as price and release date, but there was a mention of the backward compatible feature and hands-on events for public to try out the console that are happening all over the world. Since there isn’t a release date yet, it makes sense that pre-orders are not available either. Still, there are some nuggets of information about pre-ordering the Switch 2 that have trickled out since the reveal.

Here’s what you need to know about Switch 2 pre-orders.
Where can I pre-order the Switch 2?
So far, Best Buy is the only retailer to confirm it will have pre-orders for the Switch 2. There’s already a page dedicated to the Switch 2 and those interested can submit their email to get a notification of when pre-orders are available.
Other retailers likely to have Switch 2 pre-orders sometime in the near future are Amazon, Target and Walmart.
When can I pre-order the Switch 2?
Nintendo hasn’t provided a date for pre-orders, but it will likely happen after the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct on April 2.
How much will the Switch 2 cost?
That is another detail Nintendo has yet to announce. The original Switch launched for $299, but considering the Switch OLED currently costs $350, it’s unlikely that the Switch 2 will cost less. Analysts are predicting a price point of $400, according to IGN.
