Price increase amount confirmed for the Switch 2 in the UK, set to come into effect September 1st

Though we knew all the way back in May that this was coming, the exact numbers remained a mystery for prospective Nintendo gamers in the UK. If you happen to have been living under a rock, let me fill you in. The price of the Switch 2 is set to go up next month. For those of you in the US, Canada, and EU, the exact amount has been known for a few months now, with the US getting the worst deal looking at percentage increase. You can find a reminder of these increases below:

United States: $449.99 ➜ $499.99 (11% increase)
Canada: CA$629.99 ➜ CA$679.99 (7% increase)
Europe: €469.99 ➜ €499.99 (6% increase)

Nintendo have today confirmed the numbers for those of us in the UK, and they're not quite as bad as I was expecting.

United Kingdom: £395.99 ➜ £419.99 (6% increase)

The numbers are relatively in line with what was announced for Canada and Europe, showing a 6% increase. As with other regions, these prices are set to come into effect from the 1st of September, giving you a little under two weeks if you're still on the fence about buying before it gets a touch more expensive.

RIP Switch 2
2025-2026

Yeah. A shame. Fastest selling console of all-time and over 25 million have already sold. And now its price has gone up FAR less than the PS5, the Xbox or the Steam Deck. It is absolutely doomed.
Just more braindead Ninty-bashing.
What a #dumbass
