Best Buy Confirms Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders Go Live April 24
Best Buy has officially confirmed that **pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2** will open on **April 24 at 12 a.m. ET**. This aligns with other major retailers, including **Target** and **Walmart**, which will also begin taking pre-orders at the same time. **GameStop** will start online pre-orders later in the day at **11 a.m. ET**, with in-store availability tied to local opening hours.
Quantities are expected to be limited, so fans hoping to secure the console at launch are encouraged to act quickly. If Best Buy sells out, shoppers can try other retailers during the same window.
Nintendo has stated it aims to avoid the supply shortages that plagued the original Switch’s launch. However, concerns over accessory price hikes and broader economic factors may still impact demand. With the launch approaching, pre-order day will offer a first glimpse at how strong early interest in the Switch 2 really is.
