The Nintendo Switch 2 continues to experience rapid sellouts across major retailers following its launch on June 5, 2025.
Demand still far exceeds inventory, so securing a unit at retail price requires vigilance, timing, and multiple strategies.
Here’s an updated and expanded guide on how to navigate the Nintendo Switch 2 restock landscape.
Best Buy’s July 1 In‑Store Restock Event
Best Buy has confirmed that 45 of its U.S. locations will receive Nintendo Switch 2 consoles for in‑store purchase only on Tuesday, July 1, 2025.
These units will not be available online. Customers must visit the stores in person, and since stock is extremely limited, arriving before doors open is key.
You can check your local Best Buy’s inventory here.
Some community inventories — scraped by third-party tools — update more frequently than Best Buy’s official page and can help identify which stores are likely stocked. We’ve got links to those tools below.
Newegg: Online Flash Restocks
Newegg tends to release small bundles or standalone Switch 2 consoles online without prior notice.
To improve your odds, be sure to have an active Newegg account in advance with your billing and shipping information already set.
Newegg’s inventory is currently sold out, but third-party vendors on the website are selling Switch 2 bundles — with a markup.
Is the Nintendo Switch 2 Available on Amazon?
Amazon’s availability remains inconsistent and unreliable. Shortly after launch weekend, its official Nintendo Switch 2 listing was removed, reportedly due to a pricing dispute involving unauthorized discounts from third-party sellers
In other regions, such as the UK, Amazon is restocking more frequently, but U.S. availability remains patchy.
That said, Amazon may still list bundles or accessories occasionally — especially around major shopping events like Prime Day, which takes place next week.
But without consistent stock updates or reliable listing pages, Amazon should be considered a backup rather than a primary source.
Other Retailers: Walmart, Target, and GameStop
The Switch 2 is currently out of stock on Costco, Sam’s Club, Target, and Walmart websites.
However, like with Newegg, some third-party vendors on Walmart.com are offering the Switch 2, at a significant markup. The same goes for eBay, where Switch 2 consoles are selling for as high as $929.99.
