Despite an official pre-order date of April 8, Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders have started to go live across the UK. If you want to pre-order the new Nintendo console ahead of its June launch, then the links below will take you to Switch 2 store pages for each of the retailers that are selling the console.

Express.co.uk will keep this story updated with the latest stock news and pre-order information, and will add more shop links as additional retailers begin selling the console. Even if the console is listed as out of stock when you try to pre-order, it's worth checking back regularly in the lead up to June. Retailers are likely to be allocated more stock in the days, weeks and months ahead, similar to how the PS5 was in and out of stock in the early days of the console's launch.

Likewise, don't be surprised if retailers are allocated more stock for the original April 8 pre-order date.

Argos, Very and Smyths were among the first retailers to start offering Switch 2 pre-orders, although it didn't take long for the initial stock allocation to sell out.

Amazon is also giving customers the ability to pre-order the Nintendo Switch 2 ahead of its June launch, albeit by invitation only.

Simply visit the Switch 2 page on the Amazon website, request and invite, and wait for an email confirming whether or not you can pre-order from the retailer.
