Nintendo of America is raising Switch prices

Nintendo has confirmed that price changes are on the way for the original Nintendo Switch family of systems, and they’ll be implemented soon. As of August 3, 2025, U.S. buyers can expect to see price hikes on the Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED, and a handful of accessories.

Nintendo announced the upcoming price changes in a news post. In it, the company cites “market conditions” as the reason for the bump. Nintendo neglected to confirm the new price points, but Target listings spotted by Wario64 point to a $40 bump for the base Switch, a $50 bump for the Switch OLED, and a $30 bump for the Switch Lite.

Nintendo confirmed that the price of the Switch 2 will remain unchanged, but that “price adjustments may be necessary in the future.” Unspecified Switch 2 accessories, amiibo, and Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo will also receive price increases.

These changes reflect the recently announced price increases for the Switch in Canada. The changes to Switch prices in America will go into effect on August 2, 2025.
