The Switch 2 could get a price hike in 2026, but how much more should people prepare to pay? According to Niko Partners analyst Daniel Ahmad, Nintendo may opt to raise the price of the Switch 2 by $50 or $100. The Switch 2 currently sells for $450 on its own or $500 with Mario Kart World.
He said this against the backdrop of the impact of tariffs and increasing memory prices and how those factors could impact the Switch 2’s price. Nintendo said in its latest earnings briefing that there will be no impact during the current fiscal year, but for the fiscal year that begins in April 2026, these factors could “put pressure” on the company’s earnings, Ahmad said.
“Would need to reconsider pricing / strategy at that point,” Ahmad said.
