Nintendo Switch 2 UK stock live: Where to buy a console today
It's now been over a week since the Nintendo Switch 2 launched, and stock is still vanishing fast. Amazon briefly restocked this morning, but it sold out in under five minutes. But it's not all doom and gloom, the console is now in stock at the My Nintendo Store.
EE is still offering the console to existing customers, while ShopTo has it available on back order, with delivery expected from 18 June at the earliest.
Elsewhere, Argos, JD Williams, Smyths Toys and Very all restocked last week, but sold out within minutes. I'm updating this page with the latest stock updates as well as the latest Nintendo Switch 2 news, so keep checking back. This is the only Nintendo Switch 2 stock checker you need.
Where to buy the Nintendo Switch 2 right now
Nintendo Switch 2 specs
The Switch 2 might look familiar, but there's a lot going on underneath. It's powered by a new custom Nvidia chip, so games don't just load faster, they look better and run more smoothly. You get 12GB of RAM (up from 4GB on the original Switch), and most of that goes straight into powering games, not just background stuff.
The screen is still LCD, not OLED, but it's bigger at 7.9in and has 1080p resolution. It supports HDR and a 120Hz refresh rate. Colours pop more, and motion looks buttery-smooth in handheld mode. There's also DLSS upscaling built in, so older games look better. Sadly, while it supports variable refresh rates, it doesn't work when docked – just in handheld mode.
Nintendo Switch 2 price
The Nintendo Switch 2 on its own costs £399.99, and the main bundle with Mario Kart World costs £429.99. Buying the bundle saves you £40 compared to picking up the game separately, so it's better value if you're planning to grab it anyway.
No big discounts yet – it's only been out a week, after all – but some retailers have larger, more expensive bundles. These include the new Switch 2 camera (£49, Amazon.co.uk), the Pro controller (£74.99, Very.co.uk) and the official carry case and screen protector (£20.99, Amazon.co.uk), as well as extra games and accessories.
Nintendo Switch 2 launch games
There are plenty of new Nintendo Switch 2 games at launch. Mario Kart World is the big one, but you've also got upgraded versions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, plus mammoth games like Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition and Hogwarts Legacy – two games that really test the console's muscle.
Other launch day games include Hades 2, Split Fiction, Sonic X Shadow Generations, Street Fighter 6, Survival Kids and Suikoden I & II HD Remaster. You've also got Yakuza 0: Director's Cut, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, and Deltarune Chapters 1–4, plus more niche picks like Fantasy Life i and Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD. Civilization VII and No Man's Sky are here too, and Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour acts as a mini showcase for the new hardware.
On top of that, loads of older Nintendo titles have been patched with free performance updates, and Wind Waker, F-Zero GX and Soul Calibur II are now available through the new Switch Online GameCube library.
The Nintendo Switch 2 Pro controller is a big step up from the original, but it has been selling out as quickly as the console itself. It finally has two re-mappable triggers on the back, there's a built-in a headphone jack for a wired headset, and there's a C button for GameChat. Right now, the only place where you can buy one is at Amazon.
When you finally get your Nintendo Switch 2, you'll notice that you won't be able to slot your current microSD cards in and play your existing games. While you can transfer them over from your OG Switch to the new one, you'll need a microSSD Express card – not the regular one. The official one from Nintendo and SanDisk gives you an extra 256GB of storage and costs £49.99.

Stephen Miller's wife ordered Social Security workers to cover up a lie from her new boss Elon Musk: report
The wife of one of President Donald Trump's closest and most trusted advisers, Stephen Miller, served in the White House for only a brief time, but in that period used her position to pressure the Social Security Administration to lie on behalf of the White House and its then-special government employee, Elon Musk, according to a new report. Katie Miller allegedly instructed the head of the SSA to tell reporters that 40 percent of all calls placed to SSA phone lines were linked to fraudulent Social Security claims — a number the president and Musk plucked out of thin air as the White House and Musk's DOGE effort set about making cuts to a wide range of federal agencies this year, the New York Times reported. 'The number is 40 percent,' Katie Miller reportedly told the acting SSA Administrator Leland Dudek in an April 1 call, the Times reported. 'Do not contradict the president.' 'Mr. Musk's team mobilized dozens of Social Security employees to affirm their views about fraud and began a project to ensure dead people were properly classified so they weren't mistakenly paid — even though DOGE officials acknowledged in an internal memo that payments were not being made in those cases,' the Times wrote. While Miller left the government in late May alongside Musk, the new head of the SSA refuted that figure directly in a statement to the Times. 'We're going to be a fact-based, rule-based organization that can count,' said Frank Bisignano, who joined the agency as commissioner in early May. Bisignano's predecessor, Dudek, did not back up Musk's claims either. According to the Times, the DOGE cuts at SSA — driven by Musk's fixation on Social Security as a major source of waste and fraud — were badly mismanaged and resulted in many newly open basic customer service roles being replaced by 'specialized professionals like lawyers, human resources staff and technologists' who are paid higher rates than colleagues who exited those roles or retired after being offered buyouts earlier this year. A staffing shortfall at the agency is now compounded by a growing backlog of Social Security claims. Miller followed Musk out the door and now works with him on his various business ventures, despite a massive, public blowup between the Tesla chief and Trump earlier this month. In now-deleted posts, Musk alleged that Trump, for whom her husband retains fervent loyalty, was linked to the deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and further claimed that Trump was responsible, through his own alleged inclusion in them, for the Epstein flight logs and other files being hidden from the public. Katie's fence-sitting between the two was the subject of its own CNN profile earlier this month. Dudek, who led the agency when Katie Miller ordered it to parrot the White House line, is apparently out of a job after his time as acting commissioner came to an end. In a statement, he fought back against criticism that he was unqualified — a claim stemming from the fact that he got the job after being placed on leave from his mid-level position at the SSA for going beyond the scope of his duties to help the fledgling DOGE effort make headway at the agency. That punishment prompted him to pen a LinkedIn post 'confessing' his efforts to help DOGE. 'I confess. I helped DOGE understand SSA. I mailed myself publically accessible documents and explained them DOGE,' he wrote in a February LinkedIn post first reported by CNN. 'I confess. I moved contractor money around to add data science resources to my anti-fraud team to examine Direct Deposit Fraud.' 'I confess. I bullied agency executives, shared executive contact information, and circumvented the chain of command to connect DOGE with the people who get stuff done,' he added at the time. That post caught the eye of Musk, who at the time still enjoyed a close relationship with Trump. In a tweet, the former DOGE-er-in-chief said that Dudek 'was brought back right away [by Trump] and now HE is upper management.' Upon his departure, Dudek thanked the president for his time at the agency. But privately, according to the Times, he has expressed 'deep misgivings about the effect of DOGE's oversight,' to his confidantes. 'Thank you President Trump for the opportunity to serve. Thank you DOGE team for your trust. Thank you SSA for all you do,' wrote Dudek in May. Bisignano, after taking over the agency, assured agency staffers that he was not planning the same kind of large-scale layoff policies that DOGE was pledging earlier this year at many federal agencies, some of which had to rehire workes who were sent home. 'I have no intent to RIF people,' he said during a 90-minute address to agency managers last month, according to the Federal News Network. But in his statement to the Times, Bisignano made clear that he knows how to play by the Trump White House's expectations, as he pushed back against the assertion that DOGE had messed up by claiming 40 percent of all Social Security help line callers to be linked to fraudulent claims. 'The work that DOGE did was 100 percent accurate,' he insisted.

Pendo releases AI agent performance measurement tool
Pendo, the world's first software experience management platform, today announced Pendo Agent Analytics, a first-of-its-kind solution that gives companies visibility into how AI agents are performing. 0 Companies can leverage Pendo Agent Analytics in two powerful ways: To measure the performance of their digital workers like they would their employees and to measure adoption of their agentic software like they would their SaaS applications. As agents join org charts and product roadmaps across the enterprise, companies require systems to understand how agents work and to optimise their performance. IT teams need confidence that agents will act in compliance and improve productivity, and R&D teams must ensure that agents drive business outcomes for customers. According to the Forrester report Agentic AI Agents Are A Rare Sighting: 'We need transparency, data security and protection, controls and guardrails, and advanced monitoring before we see broad adoption of agentic systems.' Pendo Agent Analytics supports these functions with metrics and reports that track homegrown and third-party agent behaviour alongside usage of traditional software. With Pendo Agent Analytics, companies can answer questions like: 'Are people using my agents and how frequently?' What prompts are they using?' 'What do users do on my platform after an AI interaction?' And ultimately, 'Is this agent delivering value?' Pendo Agent Analytics includes functionality that: Tracks user behaviour across agents and traditional software to understand how workflows are changing; Provides insight into what people do before and after they interact with an agent; Analyses conversations with agents to determine prompt trends; Highlights non-compliant behaviour; Maps agent usage to task completion, helping companies measure the ROI of agentic AI; and Ensures safety, trust, and governance at every step - so companies can innovate confidently, knowing they have enterprise-grade monitoring and controls in place. 'The shift to intelligent software is happening faster than we could ever imagine, and enterprises are faced with improving their SaaS applications, while accelerating agent and AI innovation,' said Todd Olson, CEO and co-founder of Pendo. 'I'm proud that we are supporting customers wherever they are on their transformation journey.' Pendo announced the new offering during its inaugural Pendomonium X event in New York City, along with numerous product updates that help teams improve user onboarding, accelerate user success and cut support costs, increase upsell revenue, and drive team productivity.
