This Might Be The Last Killer Switch 2 Deal Before Prices Rise

At present, the Nintendo Switch 2 is priced at $450, but the company plans to lift that figure to $500 in just a few months. However, a select group of shoppers can snag the console for a temporary $400 discount thanks to a fresh promotion that is expected to sell out quickly.

Amazon‑owned marketplace Woot is currently offering the Switch 2 at its standard price, but customers who enter the coupon code “GIFT26” receive a $22 rebate. New shoppers on Woot can enjoy an even larger $50 discount. The promotion runs until July 25 or until supplies run out—whichever comes first.

The $400 Switch 2 deal was one of the most attractive holiday bargains last Christmas, rivaling the brief $450 bundle that included Mario Kart World. It is likely to remain the lowest price we’ll see for the rest of 2026, and possibly even beyond.

Starting September 1, Nintendo will raise the Switch 2’s launch price from $450 to $500. The hike reflects a confluence of market pressures, from President Trump’s tariffs to an AI‑driven arms race that has pushed up the cost of key gaming components such as memory and storage.

Industry analysts warn that the current surge in memory prices—colloquially dubbed “RAMageddon”—is unlikely to subside in the near future, with forecasts suggesting that costs could climb steadily through at least 2028. In that same timeframe, the price tag for Nintendo’s anticipated Switch 2 remains a mystery; insiders speculate it could well exceed the $400 benchmark that many have set for next‑generation handhelds.
