GameStop began accepting preorders for the Nintendo Switch 2 on April 24, 2025, experiencing 'overwhelming demand' that caused online site issues. Online listings appeared unavailable within minutes of going live at 11 a.m. ET.
Despite the technical difficulties online, in-store preorders were reported to be running smoothly. The new gaming console is priced at a baseline of $449.99, and its preorders had been delayed earlier in the month to assess potential impacts of tariffs and market conditions.
The high demand for the Nintendo Switch 2 indicates strong consumer interest in the new product, which is a positive operational development for GameStop's retail business. This highlights the company's role in major gaming hardware launches.
