Best Nintendo Switch deals July 2025

If you've been keeping your eyes on this page over the last few months, you may recognise some of these deals already – truth is, they're still the best ones out there currently.

* References to ‘Average price' and 'Cheapest price' are based on Which? market knowledge and information supplied by our partners. Average price is checked for the six calendar months prior to publication. Not all retailers are included in our checks.

 Nintendo Switch OLED deals

Our pick: Nintendo Switch OLED (White)

*Average price in the last six months: £309.56. Cheapest price in past six months: £237

We like: Significantly cheaper than a Switch 2

Watch out for: Is older than the Switch 2

If you're after a Switch OLED, or want to upgrade from your regular Switch – this is the best bargain currently available. 

With the release of the Switch 2, we've seen price tags get gradually cut further and further. We're hoping to see bigger discounts as the console phases out.

Nintendo Switch 2 deals

Our pick: Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World

*Average price in the last six months: £429.99. Cheapest price in the past six months: £429.99

We like: Better specs

Watch out for: The most expensive option (for now)

The Switch 2 just launched, so our hopes for any deals were quite low. Most bundle deals available right now won't actually save you much money on the new console either – except this one.

This deal comes with the highly anticipated Mario Kart World, and you'd be saving £41 compared to buying each separately.

The only issue? Stock is extremely hard to come by. There are a few retailers that are still selling it, but don't be surprised if they're out of stock.

You can pick it up direct from Nintendo (£429.99), but you'll need a MyNintendo account.

 Nintendo Switch deals

Our pick: Nintendo Switch (Neon Blue/Red) + extras

*Average price in the last six months: £263.21. Cheapest price in past six months: £220

We like: Nintendo Switch Sports + a year of Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) included at no extra cost

Watch out for: You'll need to renew NSO after a year

This Switch bundle is the cost of a new console, but it saves you £64 by including a Nintendo Switch Sports, plus a year of Nintendo's online membership so you can play online multiplayer.

Similar deals have been around for a while, but the length of the Nintendo Switch Online membership has been raised from three months to 12 now, making this already good deal even better.

We saw it cheapest at The Game Collection (£244.95). Compare prices from other retailers below:

 Nintendo Switch Lite deals

Our pick: Nintendo Switch Lite ('Timmy & Tommy's edition') + Animal Crossing New Horizons

*Average price in the last six months: £205. Cheapest price in past six months: £190

We like: Free digital game included, plus a unique colourway

Watch out for: Can't play it on a TV

After a brief stint of being out of stock, we've seen this Switch Lite bundle back on the shelves. It's a special edition Switch Lite featuring designs from the latest Animal Crossing game.

The game comes pre-installed on the console, saving you £40. Some retailers also offer a year's worth of Nintendo Switch Online for free, saving you even more.

Should you just buy a Nintendo Switch 2?

With Nintendo's new console out, it might be worth just getting that instead – you'll be able to use it longer than an old Switch, even if you need to pay more upfront.

It isn't cheap though – prices for the the Switch 2 start at £395.99. 

There are bundles available too, but most of them don't save you any money, and make you pay close to an eye-watering £600.

Want the new console? Here's where to find the best price on the Nintendo Switch 2.

How much does a Nintendo Switch typically cost?

• The Switch 2 launched with a price tag of £395.99 from the Nintendo Store

• A an older Nintendo Switch typically costs £259.99 from the Nintendo Store

• A Switch OLED is a bit more expensive, usually costing around £309.99 from the Nintendo Store

• A Switch Lite is the cheapest option and will typically set you back £199.99 from the Nintendo Store

What is the difference between a Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, Switch OLED, and Switch Lite?

• The Nintendo Switch 2 is Nintendo's newest console: all the basic elements of the Switch are there (the dock, detachable Joy-Cons, etc.), but this one has got extra internal storage (256GB), a larger screen with higher screen resolution at 1080p, plus the ability to play games in 4K on a TV.
• The Nintendo Switch is the base model of Switch. It comes with a dock you can use to play games on your TV and outputs to 1080p. You can use it as a handheld, as a TV console or propped up on a table using the built-in kickstand. It comes with 32 gigabytes of internal storage.
• Think of the OLED model as a souped-up Switch. The Switch OLED differs from the other models by having a seven-inch OLED screen. It has better speakers, more internal storage, a more adjustable kickstand and can be hooked up to a wired ethernet through its dock. It still outputs at 1080p onto TVs, like the regular Switch. 
• The Switch Lite is a Switch that's more focused on the handheld capabilities of the console. It's the cheapest but it has a smaller screen, can't connect to TVs and doesn't come with a dock like the other two models. It comes with 32 gigabytes of internal storage. 

All Switch models can have their storage expanded with a mirco-SD card to fit two terabytes of games.

What do I need to know before buying a Nintendo Switch? 

The biggest question to ask when buying any games console is how you'll primarily be using it and what kinds of games you'll want to play.

If you travel a lot and want something portable, a Nintendo Switch could be a great option. However, while the Switch 2's RRP is lower than that of an Xbox or PlayStation, it doesn't have a 'budget' option yet. We're hoping to see a Switch 2 Lite in a coming months (or years), but so far there's nothing official.

Nintendo gets most new releases, has a wide catalogue of their own exclusive titles, has thousands of indie games, plus older games are remade or ported over to be released on their consoles.

The Switch offers an all-in-one gaming solution and a lot of options for most types of gamers. However, if you're looking to play the newest Call of Duty, Rainbow Six Siege, or Valorant, you might be better off with a PlayStation or Xbox, as those games aren't on Switch.

Like other consoles, you'll need to pay extra for an online multiplayer subscription, which costs £18 a year.

What games are available on Nintendo Switch?

Nintendo is well-known for their exclusive games and franchises like Mario, Kirby, Splatoon, Fire Emblem, the Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, Metroid, and Animal Crossing.

You can find most games on a Nintendo Switch these days, including more mature titles like BioShock, older Grand Theft Auto games, The Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption, and several Assassin's Creed titles. There are also competitive online multiplayer titles like Overwatch 2, Fortnite, and Apex Legends. Plus classic multiplayer games such as Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros., Warioware, and Mario Party.

Most new releases are available on Switch, although due to the console's less powerful hardware, the Switch versions of newer games may not look as good as their console or PC counterparts so they're not as computationally demanding on the handheld.

How to recycle your old Nintendo tech

If you're upgrading from another console to a new Nintendo Switch, you might be wondering what to do with the old one.

Nintendo's advice on how to dispose of your old Nintendo consoles is to check where your nearest recycling point is with your local authority and take it there to be recycled, along with any other electronics you no longer need or want.

Electronics such as Nintendo games consoles cannot be disposed of in your general household waste or kerbside recycling.
