GameStop's Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders: Everything You Need to Know
The Nintendo Switch 2 is finally here! After a delay caused by US tariffs, pre-orders are open, and GameStop is a key player. This article breaks down everything you need to know about securing your Switch 2 pre-order at GameStop, including timing, bundles, and accessories.
GameStop Pre-Order Details
Unlike other retailers launching pre-orders at midnight ET on April 24th, GameStop opted for a more relaxed approach. Their online pre-orders open at 11 a.m. ET, making it a better option for those who can't stay up late. However, this later start time also means intense competition, so be ready to act fast. GameStop is offering both the standard Switch 2 console and the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle. Creating a GameStop account before pre-orders open is highly recommended to streamline the checkout process.
GameStop Canada
For Canadian gamers, GameStop Canada's online pre-orders begin at 12 p.m. ET on April 24th. In-store pre-orders will start when each location opens. A limit of one Switch 2 per household is in place.
GameStop Accessories
GameStop isn't just selling the console; they're also offering a range of accessories, including carrying cases (a significantly cheaper alternative to Nintendo's offerings!), charging stations, and more. Pre-orders for these accessories also start at 11 a.m. ET on April 24th. Check their site for the full selection and pricing.
Don't Miss Out!
The Nintendo Switch 2 is a highly sought-after item. While GameStop's 11 a.m. ET launch offers a slightly less frenzied pre-order experience, it's still crucial to be prepared and ready to purchase. Remember to create your account beforehand and have your payment information ready. Good luck securing your Switch 2!
