Nintendo Switch 2 leak claims US pre-orders will go live in a matter of days
You may not have to wait much longer.


- A leaker claims that Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders will start on April 23 in Canada.
- They also claim that pre-orders in the US could open up on April 21 or April 30.
- Pre-orders for accessories are said to start on April 30.
The Nintendo Switch 2 hasn’t exactly had the smoothest of launches so far. In addition to pricing uncertainty due to tariffs, another lingering question has been the pre-order date. A new leak, however, may have given us the answer to this question.
Originally, Nintendo planned to begin pre-orders of the Switch 2 in the US and Canada on April 9. However, only two days after the launch event, the game maker delayed pre-orders in the US to “assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions.” Not long after, the company decided to also postpone pre-orders in Canada, claiming that it wanted to keep the release synced in both countries.
