The Nintendo Switch 2 is getting a $50 price hike in September

Nintendo will raise Switch 2 prices in several markets, with the US version increasing to $499.99 on September 1, 2026.

Canada and Europe will also see higher prices, while Japan faces additional hikes across several Switch models and services earlier in the year.

Nintendo says the changes reflect shifting market conditions, including tight memory supply and the AI boom.

The move suggests console prices may keep climbing over time, which could affect when consumers choose to buy hardware.
