Nintendo to Raise Switch Prices in the U.S. This Weekend
August 2, 2025 - 03:01
In a significant move, Nintendo has announced that it will be increasing the prices of its popular Switch console in the United States, effective this Sunday. This decision marks the first price adjustment for the system since its launch, reflecting the company's response to various economic factors and production costs.
The updated pricing will apply to all standard models of the Nintendo Switch. However, the upcoming Switch 2 hardware, which has been highly anticipated by fans and gamers alike, will remain unaffected by this price hike. This leaves consumers with an opportunity to purchase the current model before the new prices take effect.
Nintendo's Switch has been a major player in the gaming industry, known for its versatility and unique gaming experiences. As the company prepares for this change, it remains to be seen how consumers will respond and whether this adjustment will impact sales in the competitive gaming market.
