Walmart Plus Members Get Exclusive Switch 2 Restock
▼ Summary
– Walmart is offering a restock of the Nintendo Switch 2 today, but only for Walmart Plus subscribers, with no discount included.
– The restock includes a $449.99 standalone Switch 2 and a $499.99 bundle with Mario Kart World, starting at 9PM ET/6PM PT.
– The Switch 2 has been hard to find since its June 5th launch, making this restock a rare opportunity for buyers.

– The Switch 2 features a larger 7.9-inch 1080p screen, improved Joy-Con 2 controllers, and a GameChat feature for voice calls.
Walmart Plus members have an exclusive opportunity to purchase the highly sought-after Nintendo Switch 2 during a special restock event. Starting tonight at 9 PM Eastern Time (6 PM Pacific), subscribers can grab either the standalone console for $449.99 or a bundled version with a digital copy of Mario Kart World for $499.99. While there’s no price reduction, this restock provides rare access to the elusive system, which has been nearly impossible to find since its June 5 launch.
The Nintendo Switch 2 has quickly become the fastest-selling console on the market, thanks to its upgraded features. Boasting a 7.9-inch 1080p display, larger and sharper than its predecessor, it also introduces redesigned Joy-Con 2 controllers with magnetic attachments and enhanced buttons. One standout addition is GameChat, a built-in voice chat feature activated by pressing the “C” button on the right Joy-Con 2 or Pro Controller. The system even supports using a single Joy-Con 2 as a mouse in compatible games, though this functionality remains limited for now.
For those without a Walmart Plus membership, signing up for the free 30-day trial could be a smart workaround to secure the console. The subscription normally costs $12.95 per month or $98 annually, but this temporary access might be worth it given the Switch 2’s scarcity. With stock shortages persisting since launch, this restock could be one of the few chances to buy before demand outpaces supply again.
