Nintendo Switch 2 deal cuts the console to as low as $399 before upcoming price hike
The Nintendo Switch 2 is getting a rare discount, and for shoppers hoping to buy the new handheld before its price goes up, this could be one of the best offers available right now.
Nintendo recently confirmed that the Switch 2 will rise from its current $449.99 retail price to $499.99 starting September 1, 2026. The company pointed to several industry-wide pressures behind the increase, including tariffs, DRAM shortages, and broader memory supply issues. That makes any meaningful discount on the console especially appealing.
As part of its 22nd anniversary sale, Woot is offering the Nintendo Switch 2 below its standard MSRP through two separate promotions. The first deal lets shoppers buy the console for $449.99 and apply the promo code GIFT26 at checkout. That knocks $22 off the price, bringing the total down to about $427 before taxes.
The second offer is even better for eligible new customers. Shoppers who qualify for Woot’s new customer discount can receive $50 off, dropping the Nintendo Switch 2 price to just $399 before taxes. Final pricing will vary depending on local sales tax and shipping-related costs, but this is still a significant reduction for a console that is expected to become more expensive soon.
There is one important limitation: the offer is restricted to one Nintendo Switch 2 per customer. That should help prevent bulk buying and give more regular shoppers a fair chance at picking up the console. The sale is scheduled to run until July 25 at 11:58 p.m. Central Time, or until stock sells out.
For anyone who misses the new-console deal, Woot also has another option. The retailer is selling a Certified Grade A refurbished Nintendo Switch 2 bundle that includes Mario Kart World for $439.
According to Woot, these refurbished units have been inspected for cosmetic condition, checked for serious hardware issues, and put through a full diagnostic process to make sure they perform like new. The listing also notes that the consoles do not include prior owner information.
The refurbished Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle comes with the original retail box, original accessories, and a 90-day warranty. That makes it a potentially attractive alternative for buyers who want the console and one of its biggest games together at a lower price than the upcoming standalone MSRP.
Some shoppers may be concerned about whether the Mario Kart World code is still valid in the refurbished bundle. Woot has clarified that the bundle should either include the original sealed code or a replacement code for the game.
With the Switch 2 price increase approaching, this anniversary sale gives buyers a timely opportunity to save. Whether you choose the new console discount or the refurbished Mario Kart World bundle, the deal could be worth considering before inventory disappears.
