Nintendo Switch 2 Prime Day Discount on Woot: $399 for New Customers, $419 for Returning

6/23/2026, 12:16:29 PM

Prime Day Offer Details

Amazon’s outlet site Woot is running a Prime Day promotion for the Nintendo Switch 2. New Woot customers can apply code CHEAPSWITCH2 to receive a $50 discount, reducing the price to $399. Returning Woot customers using the same code receive a $30 discount, bringing the cost to $419. The offer is limited to one console per person, is valid through June 26, and the retailer expects the inventory to sell out well before that date.

Background: Recent Price Increases and Upcoming Hike

Nintendo has raised the Switch 2’s list price several times in recent months, with reports indicating a current MSRP of $499. The company has announced an additional $50 price increase slated for September 2024. Consequently, the Prime Day discount represents a temporary price window that may not be available after the scheduled hike.

Pricing Breakdown and Specifications

Conflicting Reports & Gaps

Sources differ on the Switch 2’s current MSRP. Tom’s Hardware cites a $499 price, while CNET references an upcoming $50 increase without specifying the present MSRP. Additionally, Tom’s Hardware lists a Woot “list price” of $449, whereas CNET describes the $399 price as a record-low without mentioning the $449 figure. No official statement from Nintendo confirming the exact pre-increase price or the September hike is provided in the available sources.

What’s Next: Availability and Consumer Impact

The promotion ends on June 26, and inventory is expected to be exhausted before that deadline. Consumers seeking a Switch 2 at or below $399 will need to act quickly, as the September price increase will raise the baseline cost to at least $449. The limited-time discount may influence purchasing decisions ahead of the scheduled hike, potentially accelerating sales during the Prime Day window.
