This past week has been bustling with Nintendo Switch 2 preorder activities in the UK. Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive games and accessories are now available directly from Nintendo. Make sure to check your email for any preorder invitations for the console and bundles.
Amazon UK has recently opened its preorder system to the public, abandoning its invitation-only method; however, the console has already sold out, with more preorder opportunities anticipated leading up to the June 5 release date. Argos also initiated a new round of preorders on April 8, featuring the Switch 2 console alongside the Mario Kart World Bundle, games, and accessories.
