The festive shopping frenzy continues as Boxing Day 2025 brings a fresh wave of discounts for savvy gamers. Following the traditional Christmas Day lull, retailers have launched their sales events, presenting a prime opportunity to pick up the coveted Nintendo Switch 2 at a reduced price.
Current Deals on the Nintendo Switch 2
Since its launch in the summer of 2025, the Nintendo Switch 2 has been in high demand, with significant discounts remaining elusive. While the Black Friday sales last month offered some promotions, and online giant Very briefly cut £50 off the price in early December, substantial savings have been scarce. However, our tracking shows there are still worthwhile bundles and offers available for those quick to act.
Senior tech critic Alex Lee, writing on Friday 26 December 2025, has rounded up the best available promotions. The most straightforward console discount is currently at Argos, where the Nintendo Switch 2 is priced at £385.99, down from £395. This matches its Black Friday price point, offering a modest £10 saving. The updated console features magnetic Joy-Cons, an improved microphone, a faster user interface, and the new GameChat feature.
Top Bundle Offers for Boxing Day
For those seeking greater value, bundle deals provide the most significant overall savings. A standout offer is available at Currys, combining the Nintendo Switch 2 console with the 'Mario Kart World' game and a backpack buddies character. Valued at £461, this package is now selling for just £409, a saving of over £50.
In his review of the included game, tech critic Steve Hogarty highlighted the new open-world format of Mario Kart World, where players can roam freely and grand prix tournaments chart long routes between the main tracks.
How Long Will the Sales Last?
The Boxing Day sales traditionally commence on 26 December and typically run until 31 December, after which they merge into the January sales. However, stock for the most popular items, especially a sought-after new console like the Nintendo Switch 2, is likely to sell out quickly. If you see a deal that fits your needs, it is advisable to purchase it promptly to avoid disappointment.
For gamers still weighing their options, further discounts may appear, and we will continue to monitor prices closely. In the meantime, those also interested in Sony's console can explore the best PS5 Boxing Day deals for 2025.
