The Nintendo Switch 2 has dropped to $469 — the first real cut on the console itself this Black Friday season, after weeks in which the only savings came from bundles.
Woot, the Amazon-owned retailer, lists the Nintendo Switch 2 at $469, down from $499, which works out to $30 off, or 6 percent, according to a report published on November 9, 2026, citing Mashable and The Nerd Stash. A second report, published on November 2, confirms the same listing: the Switch 2 is available for $469 at Woot, bringing the console below its current $499 retail price, and the offer is for a brand-new standalone console, not a refurbished one, with the standard accessories supplied with the system. The package includes the Joy-Con 2 controllers, the dock, the grip and straps, the AC adapter, the USB-C charging cable and the Ultra High Speed HDMI cable, with a 90-day limited warranty from the retailer.
That changes yesterday’s picture. Monday’s post reported bundles from $530, with no console cut — and that was true of Nintendo’s own store and the major retailers. The Woot listing is different: it is a cut on the standalone console, not a bundle-value play. But it is a retailer-only offer, and the November 9 report is careful about the caveat: one source records the $30 reduction, while another reports that no Switch 2 discount was expected this season, and the report treats the claim that a $30 saving is available everywhere as unconfirmed. Stock, bundle terms and the exact reference price can differ by seller.

The bundles are still the main event
For most shoppers, the bundles remain the route in. Nintendo’s own store lists the Switch 2 at $499.99, the Switch 2 plus Nintendo Switch Sports Resort bundle at $529.99, and the Switch 2 plus Mario Kart World bundle at $549.99, according to a gaming tracker that checked the Nintendo Store on November 2, 2026. Both bundles come with a full game download and a three-month Nintendo Switch Online membership. Nintendo has not announced any Switch 2 Black Friday 2026 deals yet, according to the same tracker — and last year, Nintendo did not cut the Switch 2 price at all, offering Black Friday deals only on Switch games, amiibo and microSD Express cards.
The UK bundles are more generous. One report published on November 2 lists a Switch 2 plus Mario Kart World bundle at £459.99, including a 256GB Samsung microSD card and a Nintendo Switch 2 Camera, and a Switch 2 plus Nintendo Switch Sports Resort bundle at £449.99, including the same extras plus a free Gym Bag, with total savings of around £75. The November 9 report also lists a SanDisk 512GB microSD Express card for Switch 2 at $150, down from $200 — the storage is where the bigger percentage savings sit, because the new hardware uses microSD Express cards rather than the older microSD format.
What to do
The console launched on June 5, 2025, at $449.99, and Nintendo raised the US price to $499.99 on September 1, 2026, citing changes in market conditions, according to the November 2 tracker. That $50 rise is why even a $30 cut matters — and why the $469 Woot price is worth checking before it sells out. But shoppers should not assume it will be beaten on Black Friday itself, on November 27: Nintendo has not announced a cut, and the November 9 report says there is no confirmation that the Woot promotion will be the lowest price available during the holiday sales. The safe move is to check the Woot listing live, check the bundle prices at the same time, and buy the console — not the bundle — only if the $30 saving beats the value of the game and the three-month membership in the $529 or $549 bundles.
