Nintendo to raise Switch 2 price to $499 in US this fall

Nintendo will raise the U.S. retail price of the Switch 2 by $50 to $499 starting September 1. Prices for the Switch 2 in Canada and across the European Union will also increase this fall, adjusting local MSRPs. At $499 the Switch 2 now sits alongside other premium consoles, raising the upfront cost for holiday shoppers and changing the economics of bundles, trade-ins, and accessory spending.
