It’s a tough period for gamers. You’ve been anxiously anticipating the opening of Nintendo Switch 2 preorders, only to witness them disappear in a matter of seconds. Sounds familiar? That’s because we’ve experienced this previously—with the hectic launches of earlier next-gen consoles. So when you encounter messages like “coming soon,” “not available,” or “out of stock,” it’s hardly unexpected.

Preorders for the Nintendo Switch 2 officially became available on April 24, with a price tag of $449.99. However, they were short-lived. Listings at key retailers such as Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Walmart vanished almost immediately. Even bundle offers disappeared at the same rapid pace.

Nevertheless, not all is lost. If you’re set on securing a console, keep a vigilant watch on stock tracking websites and follow social media accounts that share restock notifications. Signing up for alerts directly from retailers can also provide you with a significant advantage. And yes, sometimes the classic approach of refreshing your preferred retailer’s page can yield results.

We are actively tracking stock levels across all major retailers and will refresh this page as soon as any updates occur.
