In the UK, the price of the Switch 2 will rise from £395.99 to £419.99. In Ireland, the console’s cost will increase from €469.99 to €499.99.

The move marks the latest stage in global price adjustments for the hardware. In the US, the recommended retail price will climb from $449.99 to $499.99, while most European markets will see prices shift from $469.99 to $499.99.
