Beat the incoming Switch 2 UK price rise with this ridiculously good saving

Nintendo has just confirmed an official price rise on the Switch 2 is coming on September 1, upping the RRP on the console to £419. However, we’ve found to beat the rise.

But right now, you can grab it before the price rise lands and get the Nintendo Switch 2 for £344.99, down from its £395.00 list price via a £20.01 site discount stacked with a £30.00 coupon, a saving that pushes the total reduction past £50.

Nintendo has officially confirmed that the Switch 2 will jump from £395.99 to £419.99 in the UK from 1st September 2026, part of a wider set of regional price increases the company announced back in May.

That means buying now at £344.99 locks in a price that sits roughly £75 below where the console will officially retail from next month, turning what already looked like a solid discount into something closer to essential timing.

To give you more perspective, our tech expert Max Parker spent two weeks testing the Switch 2 across more than thirty games, both docked and on the move, and rated it a clear step up from the original console he still owns and uses regularly.

He singled out the bigger 7.9-inch display as one of the console’s biggest wins, noting that the extra screen space makes handheld sessions feel genuinely more immersive and even makes dense menus in games like Cyberpunk 2077 easier to read.

Parker also found the new Nvidia chip inside made a real difference in practice, with Mario Kart World running at a stable 60fps and even a demanding port like Cyberpunk 2077 holding up far better than anything the original Switch could manage.

The redesigned Joy-Con 2 controllers impressed him too, attaching with strong magnets instead of the old clip mechanism, which fixed the rattly, creaky feel that was one of his biggest complaints about the original console over the years.

Between a sharper screen, faster performance and a sturdier build that Parker praised as an easy win over the 2017 original, this is the kind of upgrade worth having before Nintendo’s own price rise erases the gap on 1st September.

At £344.99 rather than its usual £395.00, and with an official rise to £419.99 confirmed for next month, the Nintendo Switch 2 is about as good value as this console has been, or is ever likely to be again, according to Parker’s own verdict.
