Switch 2 Black Friday 2026: Nintendo hasn't announced deals, and we expect the console to stay at $499.99
Nintendo hasn't announced any Switch 2 Black Friday deals for 2026 as of Oct. 18, 2026. Black Friday falls on Nov. 27, and the Switch 2 costs $499.99 in the US after Nintendo raised the price by $50 on Sept. 1, with the Mario Kart World bundle at $549.99. Expected Black Friday price: about $499.99 for the console and $549.99 for the Mario Kart World bundle, the same as the list prices. That's our estimate, not an official price: on Black Friday 2025, Nintendo didn't cut the Switch 2 and listed it at its regular $449.99, and its deals went to games, with a Cyber Deals sale on the eShop and My Nintendo Store from Nov. 20 to Dec. 3 and lower prices on physical Switch games from Nov. 23. If Nintendo keeps that schedule, its 2026 sale would run from about Nov. 19 to Dec. 2. Retailers set their own prices.

What Nintendo offered on Black Friday 2025
No discount on the console. Nintendo’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2025 announcement listed the Switch 2 at its regular $449.99 and the Mario Kart World bundle at $499.99, and put its deals on games instead.
Its Cyber Deals sale ran in the Nintendo eShop and My Nintendo Store from Nov. 20 to Dec. 3, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. PT, with offers on select games. From Nov. 23, select retailers, including Nintendo’s two US stores, sold physical copies of Switch games such as The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and Luigi’s Mansion 3 for $39.99, and Super Mario Odyssey and Splatoon 3 for $29.99.

Expected Switch 2 Black Friday 2026 price
Expected price: about $499.99 for the Switch 2 and $549.99 for the Mario Kart World bundle. That’s our estimate, based on Nintendo not discounting the console on Black Friday 2025 and raising its price less than three months before Black Friday 2026. Nintendo hasn’t announced any Black Friday price, and retailers can set their own.
Game deals are more likely, if Nintendo follows its 2025 plan. For the other consoles, our PS5 Black Friday 2026 and Xbox Black Friday 2026 pages have Sony’s and Microsoft’s 2025 offers and our estimates.

The Switch Sports Resort bundle costs $529.99 and arrives on Oct. 22, and the Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition costs $519.99 on Oct. 29, without a game, and it’s sold out on Nintendo’s store. Our Zelda Switch 2 restock page tracks it.
When Nintendo’s Black Friday 2026 sale could start
Nintendo hasn’t announced dates. Its 2025 Cyber Deals sale started on a Thursday, eight days before Black Friday, and ended on the Wednesday after Cyber Monday. The same schedule would put the 2026 sale at about Nov. 19 to Dec. 2, our estimate.
