A price hike for the Nintendo Switch 2 is set to arrive this September, but if you’ve been holding off on buying Nintendo’s latest console, this new deal from Woot could help you beat the increase and save some money in the process.
As part of its “Summer of Gaming” sale, those shopping at Woot can use the promo code “CHEAPSWITCH2″ at checkout to save an extra $30 on the console, bringing the total down to $419.
But if you’re placing your first-ever order with the retailer, you’ll qualify for an additional discount that drops the final price to just $399, making this one of the cheapest ways to secure a Switch 2 ahead of the scheduled September price increase.
As with most Woot promotions, this offer is only available until 11:58 PM CT on June 26, or while supplies last, so it’s worth acting quickly if you’ve been holding out for a deal.
Nintendo has confirmed that Switch 2 pricing will increase on September 1, which means discounts like this could become much harder to find in the months ahead. With demand for the console still running high, there are no guarantees we’ll see a better offer before the new pricing takes effect.
If you’d rather pick up a game alongside your new console, the Nintendo Switch 2 “Choose Your Game” bundle is another option worth considering. Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokémon Pokopia as a digital game download for $499.
Compared to buying the console and game separately, this bundle saves you $30 overall.
Before the price hike goes into effect on September 1, it’s certainly an offer to keep in mind if you’ve been looking to buy the console. We may not see another pop up before then, either.
But, it’s also not quite as good of a deal as you can find at Woot right now, especially if it’s your first time shopping there.
If you’re looking for even more Switch 2 items to shop for, perhaps if you’re finally picking the new console up to avoid the incoming price hike, there’s currently $10 off a whole bunch of Switch 2 game preorders at Amazon, alongside $20 off a bunch of Switch and Switch 2 games as well, including The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
In other important gaming news this week, Amazon Prime Day is officially live from June 23 to June 26, and we’re expecting a whole host of mega deals for PS5, Switch, and Xbox games across the whole week. Moreover, GTA 6 preorders kick off on June 25, and you won’t want to miss the biggest preorder event of the decade.
