Nintendo Switch 2 restocks live: UK stock improves as Argos gets a whole bunch of consoles and bundles

OK, I’m off out to walk the dog briefly, but I’ve done a sweep of the UK retailers too, and a ShopTo back order is still your best bet right now…

With no confirmed news of a restock, I’ve just done a big ol’ sweep and also found nothing doing, sadly.

Here are the best links to check in the US.

Woops, looks like that last post was meant for a different article! Apologies about that.

Anyway, how are we looking? Anybody manage to snag a new console today?

Top tip: stay vigilant

In times of no stock, the best thing to do is simply to be vigilant and wait it out.

And don’t pay reseller or scalpers prices! The best thing to do is hold tight; often when one retailer comes, a second is not long after too…

Stateside looks tough…

But it’s harder to say in the US right now.

Aside from some awful reseller prices on the likes of Walmart right now, there’s not much to go on. We just need one more of the big retailers to confirm a time and date – that’s all!

Where might stock pop up today then?

As a result of the barren situation right now, we’re now looking for any scrap of information to go on…

In the UK, the retailer ebuyer has its Switch 2 listing pages accompanied by ‘coming soon’ badge, instead of saying the console is out of stock or unavailable. Could this mean imminent restock action? Maybe! Maybe not…

The same language is being used in the US at Antonline on its Switch 2 hub page. It might well be reading into something too much, but we’ll take it for now!

UK latest – ShopTo backorders are your only option

The best option right now in the UK is ShopTo, which is offering ‘back orders’ on the Switch 2 console and Mario Kart World bundle.

Back orders essentially mean an order of an item that the retailer doesn’t currently have stock of, so it is legit, but you’re still subject to just waiting for ShopTo to have its restock. However, the retailer is not offering any timeline for said restock…

Best Buy is all out of stock

The biggest news from the US perspective is that Best Buy is indeed sold out of its June 11 Switch 2 restock.

That was the only officially confirmed restock we had heard of in recent days too which is a shame, and means we’re back to square one in the US as everywhere else is still sold out.

Hello again!

Hello! Welcome back to our live coverage of Switch 2 restocks. Fingers crossed there’s some good news today…

Let’s start by doing a quick sitrep.

Goodbye for now

As things look quiet on Switch 2 stock in the US and UK, I’m logging off for the evening.

Rob will pick things back up tomorrow morning in the UK, as we hope for online restocks.

Where things stand right now

I just did a sweep of US and UK retailers, and it looks like the only retailer to have the Switch 2 in stock is EE in the UK.

While Best Buy had a restock this morning, that quickly sold out, and we don’t know if the retailer will receive another batch of consoles.

And it’s already sold out…

That was quick, the reseller that posted Switch 2 stock at Walmart is now sold out. It appears that the console is now sold out at every online retailer, and our best bet is to wait for another restock at Best Buy or Walmart.

Switch 2 stock at Walmart

I was just doing a sweep of retailers to check on Switch 2 stock, and it looks like Walmart has restocked the Switch 2 console and the Mario Kart World Bundle.

Now that Best Buy is sold out, this is the only online retailer to currently have the Switch 2 in stock. Please note that the prices are higher because it’s a reseller on Walmart’s site. If you’re desperate, then this is an option, but we recommend waiting for the Switch 2 to restock at the retail price.

While you’re waiting for fresh Switch 2 stock, why not grab a 12-month membership to the Nintendo Switch Online service?

This will give you access to all sorts of perks on both the current Switch and the Switch 2. And right now, you can get a year-long membership for $19.99 via a gift card at Amazon.

UK Switch 2 stock

While US online Switch 2 stock is grim, in the UK EE has has the Nintendo Switch 2 24 month bundle with Mario Kart World available. You must create an account with EE and login and you’ll be able to purchase the console on a payment plan, which includes £22 for 24 months.

Is Switch 2 now sold out at Best Buy?

While Best Buy restocked the Switch 2 today, it now appears that both consoles have sold out online. Stock prices may fluctuate, so it’s worth checking the site, but I’m unable to add either console to my basket.

Mack is back!

Hello!

Mackenzie, the US deals editor for TechRadar, is back and will be updating you with today’s Switch 2 stock availability. I’ll do a sweep of US and UK retailers and post some Switch deals here and there, so stay tuned!

Goodbye from me!

OK, I’m passing over our coverage to my colleague Mack, who will guide you through the next few hours.

My parting information is that the standalone console seems to have sold out at Best Buy, but the yellow button is still there on the Mario Kart World bundle!

Looks like Best Buy has stock!

It looks like Best Buy has gone live with its promised Switch 2 restock!

The glorious yellow ‘Add to cart’ button is present – though it’s got a label that says ‘Shipping not available for this item’ attached to it, so it could be location dependent and maybe in-store stock only…

Anyway, the links are below the image to try now!

ShopTo offering UK ‘back orders’

You can also nab a ‘back order’ from ShopTo as well!

A ‘back order’ is basically a pre-order for new stock of a released product when it comes back into a retailer’s inventory, so this is still legit, even if it’s not offering stock right now.

UK restock alert! The Game Collection coming in clutch again

However I have found some UK stock at The Game Collection!

This retailer has really been one of the unsung heroes of the Switch 2 preorder and launch stock period, and it’s currently got a Cyberpunk 2077 bundle ion stock right now!

Stock *was* at Game in the UK, but no longer…

I was about to raise the Switch 2 restock flag for UK folks as there was stock available at Game – but now there isn’t sadly.

Still, might be worth refreshing this page a bit in the next few mins or so as stock can sometimes reappaer fleetingly.

Best Buy restock confirmed

And that big news is that Best Buy has confirmed a Switch 2 restock for today (June 11)!

However, the retailer doesn’t say exactly when this restock will occur as far as I currently see, so this is one where you’re going to have to keep close tabs on it.
