Nintendo is raising the price of the Switch 2 in several regions around the world, pointing to ongoing economic and market pressures as the reason behind the adjustment. In the U.S., the console’s price will increase from $449.

Switch 2 software sales reached 48.71 million units. Among first-party titles, Mario Kart World, released alongside the hardware, sold 14.7 million units, including bundled copies.
