Nintendo Switch 2 – live restock updates as retailers run low
It's just been a few days since the Nintendo Switch 2 launched, and most places have already sold out. There were restocks here and there throughout the week, but as of last weekend, consoles have been snapped up almost everywhere.
Argos, Amazon and Currys to ShopTo, Smyths Toys have all run out of stock, and even Nintendo 's own site has sold out. Your only options right now are EE and O2, but they're only selling to existing mobile customers with an existing contract.
But there's a very good chance more drops will land this week. We'll be updating you with all the real-time stock as it arrives. Keep your eyes peeled.
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 not even 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.
Check Nintendo Switch 2 stock
As the Switch 2 stock really starts to sell out, I thought it'd be helpful to put together an extensive list of the retailers to check over the weekend.
If you choose to buy from EE, bear in mind my previous post about the delivery times.

An update on EE Nintendo Switch 2 stock
Jamie, one of our readers, has just got in touch with me on Instagram.
After ordering a Nintendo Switch 2 from EE on launch day, he decided to call up and ask about delivery times. According to the rep he spoke to, delivery could take up to 14 days. That's a lot longer than the '1–3 working days' estimate currently quoted on EE's website.
If you're planning to order through EE, just be aware that your console might take a little longer to arrive than expected. I've asked EE for clarification and will update this post when I hear back.

Here's where you can buy a Switch 2 right now
And the last of the Nintendo Switch 2 consoles at Nintendo and Very have gone. Your only chance to get one now is at two mobile carriers – EE will come the quickest and O2 will take ages to arrive. More stock may drop soon, so keep your eyes peeled.

Here's our Nintendo Switch 2 review
So, I've officially had 48 hours with the Nintendo Switch 2, and it's a definite step-up over the Nintendo Switch OLED.
My colleague Jake Brigstock and I have been putting it through its paces. Here's our initial review – yes, you're getting two takes for the price of one.

After almost a decade's wait, the Nintendo Switch 2 is here

Here's where you can buy a Switch 2 right now
You can still buy the Nintendo Switch 2 from a few places in the UK, but each option comes with a caveat.
The My Nintendo Store has the console in stock now, though you'll need an active Switch Online membership to place an order. Delivery is fairly quick though, with consoles arriving in two to three days.
Very also has a bundle available to buy, but delivery is on the slower side. Orders aren't expected to arrive until Friday, 13 June.
EE has stock as well, but it's only available to pay-monthly customers and delivery takes between 1-3 working days.
O2 is also selling the Switch 2 to existing customers, but shipping is particularly slow – some orders could take more than four weeks to arrive.

Nintendo just dropped stock
I predicted it earlier and it's come to pass. Nintendo's just dropped some stock. You have to have a My Nintendo account to buy a console, but the stock is there.
There's a standalone Nintendo Switch console and a Mario Kart World bundle.
Alex Lee6 June 2025 12:59
Smyths Toys taking orders
Smyths Toys sold out around midday yesterday, but they're taking orders once again.
It won't be a fast delivery; the retailer says it expects stock between 10-16 June, and delivering your Switch 2 could take up to three working days after that. However, if you missed out on the console yesterday, this is a good bet.
Buy now at Smyths Toys

Nintendo Switch 2 stock at O2
Huge thank you to reader Mark Brooker, who got in touch about some Nintendo Switch 2 stock at O2.
It's unlike any of the stock we've seen so far. It's a Mario Kart World bundle and only for O2 customers. You have two options. You can either pay in full for £449.99 or spread the cost.
If you spread the cost, it costs £110 up front, but you can pay as little as £9.44 a month at 0% APR.
The catch? Delivery could take more than 4 weeks.

Stock just dropped at Very
It's been quiet since 6am this morning, but Very just dropped stock.
You can get a Nintendo Switch 2, Mario Kart World, and a Switch 2 Camera for £479. It will arrive on Friday 13 June.

More detail on EE stock
Right now, EE is the only place in the country you can buy a Switch 2. You have a few options:
The first is the basic Mario Kart World bundle. You get a Nintendo Switch 2 console and, unsurprisingly, Mario Kart World.
You also get a 12 month Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership, so you can play online. This also gives you access to 170 old-school games from the NES, SNES, GameCube, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance and Sega Genesis.
It costs £22 a month for £24 months, and you have to pay £20 upfront today.
Buy now at EE
The other option is more expensive, but you get a lot more. As well as the Nintendo Switch 2 console Mario Kart World, and Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership, you get some hardware. You also get a Nintendo Switch camera for online gaming.

Why the UK has warmed up to nuclear power again
Why you can trust Sky News For years nuclear was a dirty word. Now, the tide is turning. For the past 20 years or so, global nuclear power has stagnated amid concerns about its environmental damage and its safety after the Chernobyl and Fukushima disasters. Another nail in its coffin appeared to be its appalling record of delays and spiralling costs, while wind and solar plummeted in price and soared in supply. But leaders are warming up to nuclear power again, driven by a few key trends. First and foremost, they are anxious to keep pace with booming demand for low-carbon energy, driven by an explosion of data centres and the switch to electric cars and heat pumps. Datacentres for AI and cloud computing not only have a voracious appetite for energy, but as they operate 24/7, they need a steady, reliable stream. Enter: nuclear, which can provide this most of the time. The 'flat pack' power plant Secondly, a new type of nuclear power plant may finally be on the horizon. The much vaunted small modular reactors (SMRs) promise to be much faster and cheaper to build than something like Hinkley Point, because the parts can be built in a factory and assembled on site - the flat pack furniture of nuclear power. They have long been celebrated but have failed to scale up. So far they exist only in Russia and China. Nevertheless, industry and political leaders in other countries are confident their own SMR designs are almost ready to go, and the government on Tuesday said it wants Rolls-Royce to get the UK's first SMRs online "in the 2030s". That's most likely another 10 years from now, so a mid-term solution, with much more clean power is needed in the meantime. It also announced £14bn for Sizewell C, continuing plans for a nuclear revival started by the Tories. Beyond the UK, leaders in the US, Canada, South Korea and France and even Japan - which suffered the 2011 Fukushima disaster - and Germany - which famously detests nuclear - are warming up to it again. And so are businesses - last year Google became the first company to sign an agreement to buy nuclear energy from Kairos Power's SMRs to power its data centres. Just last week Meta did the same with Constellation Energy. As for traditional big plants, some are now being built on time and on budget, such as Barakah in the UAE. The South Korean company behind it is in talks to build the same type in the UK. Safety concerns switch from disaster to climate Thirdly, countries are trying to get off fossil fuels to fend off worse climate change. Nuclear power is very low carbon, and it is also safer than many fear. Death rates from air pollution and accidents are lower from nuclear power than from any energy form other than solar power, research by data scientists at Oxford University's Our World in Data project suggest. Nuclear power also has the lowest greenhouse gas emissions of any energy form over its lifespan, and cancer rates from accidents can be mitigated by robust responses, the scientists said. The undeniable price tag That's not to say nuclear does no damage, and the government's announcement on Tuesday glossed over what it will do with the radioactive waste. Sizewell C has been very unpopular with some local campaign groups that protest its local damage to trees, birds and coastline, and they recently launched a fresh legal challenge to additional flood barriers. Traditional large reactors like Sizewell have also been eye-wateringly expensive and slow to build, and must be routinely taken offline for maintenance. Critics argue that solar and wind power, backed up by batteries, are faster, cheaper and safer. Others want the money to be spent on reducing demand for power in the first place by insulating homes. But societies and leaders are slowly becoming less concerned about nuclear disasters and other environmental impacts, and much more worried about climate change and reliable energy supplies - as crystallised by the 2022 energy crisis and recent mass power outage in Spain and Portugal.

Sky's little-known Ring doorbell rival receives a big upgrade to help catch intruders
SKY'S Ring doorbell rival has just received a bunch of upgrades in a bid to win over more households. Few realise that the broadcasting giant has its very on smart security devices. 2 2 Sky Protect launched in May 2023 as an alternative to Ring, Nest and other big brands. The products available not only include a video doorbell, but also indoor cameras, motion sensors and leak detectors. However, you can't simply buy the gadgets outright like any other item. Sky Protect bundles the devices to a home insurance service. The devices are worth £250 and are included at no extra cost, to offer extra peace of mind alongside the insurance policy. But in an update, Sky has revealed a number of improvements. "We've made it even easier to spot night-time visitors by improving the Night Vision feature on our Video Doorbell," the firm said. "We have made two updates which give you higher quality and more reliable image from your Video Doorbell." Night Vision mode now captures even clearer images, by reducing any bright white glare that could wash out your image, for a sharper and clearer view. It's also more reliable now too, preventing any problems that could previously cause a pink screen. Elsewhere, the update prevents any missed doorbell presses. And the ding dong happens twice as fast. There are new controls for clip recordings as well, which will help the battery. So, from now on you'll be able to adjust the maximum recording length of time your Video Doorbell records for when it detects motion. This ranges from 15 seconds, 30 seconds and 60 seconds. You can do this in the Sky Protect app by doing the following:
