After a whirlwind of pre-orders, which are notoriously hard to get hold of, the more powerful console will be available for all shoppers to buy very soon. As retailers including Amazon, Currys, and the My Nintendo Store are still offering pre-orders, with fluctuating stock, Argos has unveiled a key update for this week's sale date. Very currently has the best stock levels as the Mario Kart Bundle and Switch 2 console are both available to order today. While Argos' pre-orders are all currently out of stock, it has shared the exact time it'll go on sale. Sending out a note to interested fans, it said 'the Nintendo Switch 2 is almost here' and revealed the time UK shoppers will want to be online for. It said: "All Argos customers can get their hands on the newest evolution of the console from 6am on Thursday 5th June and with Argos's same-day click and collect service, they can have it up and running in no time." For shoppers looking to get their hands on the device, it's worth saving these pages now, to boost chances of getting a Switch 2 as soon as 6am starts on Thursday.

Other features where it differs to other Nintendo Switch models include its shorter battery life and a higher price point, which is worth flagging with shoppers.

Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders live — retailers to check for restock as launch week arrives
Nintendo Switch 2 launches this week. It's been a long road to the Switch 2, but finally, after much waiting, Nintendo's next-gen console is just a few days away from being in our hands. With launch week comes the end of the Switch 2 pre-order period, but we're not quite at the end of the road yet. All major U.S. retailers are currently sold out of the console, but I'm tracking listings for any signs of restocks ahead of the console's launch on Thursday.

So, we can say with certainty that this week will bring new opportunities to secure a Switch 2. Over in the U.K., the stock situation has been a little better. The first wave of Switch 2 pre-orders sold out pretty quickly, but there's been a real abundance of restock since, and some of these restocks have lasted for multiple days. However, several retailers have packaged up available stock in pricey bundles, which may explain the slower sales. Nintendo Switch 2 will launch globally this week, on Thursday, June 5, and retailers for $449 / £395, or $499 / £429 bundled with a copy of Mario Kart World.

The ever-adorable Kirby gets a bump from 30fps to 60fps and you can enjoy 1080p gameplay in handheld mode or 1440p when retailers: GameStop The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is being ported over to the Switch 2. It promises improved visuals and performance. It also brings support for Zelda Notes, a game-specific service found in the Nintendo Switch app that's exclusive to the Switch 2. It brings voice-assisted navigation, voice memories, and item sharing. Additional retailers: GameStop Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders went live in the U.K. last month and quickly sold out. However, there have been several restocks since then, so it's worth checking retailers regularly for more opportunities to secure a Switch 2. I'm a Senior Entertainment Editor at Tom's Guide with more than five years of experience tracking pre-orders and restocks of the latest gaming consoles and limited-edition items. I'm putting all my expertise to good use to help you get yourself a Switch 2 pre-order, and ensure you don't miss out on this hotly anticipated Nintendo hardware.
