GameStop will have additional Switch 2 stock available in-store and online when the console launches next month, according to a post on X. The company also shared timing for its in-store events leading up to the June 5th launch.
“Launch event begins in-store at 3PM local time on June 4th,” according to the company. “Switch 2 pickups start at 12AM EST / 9PM PST.”
GameStop opened up its preorders on April 24th, and like with other retailers, the online preorders started poorly. Within a couple hours, the company confirmed that online preorders sold out, but many people, including noti.group’s Ash Parrish, had luck preordering in-store.
Best Buy said this week that “most” stores will have extra Switch 2 consoles available in-store at launch, too. noti.group has contacted Walmart and Target to see if they can share their plans for launch day availability.
And if you requested the chance to buy a console through Nintendo’s direct sales, check your email; invitations started going out on May 8th, and I got my own invite on Wednesday.
