Walmart Is Restocking Switch 2 Consoles Soon, but Walmart+ Members Get First Dibs

The Switch 2 has quickly become the fastest-selling hardware in Nintendo history. With upgraded graphics and new enhanced games, it's an overall great follow-up to the original Switch console. But unless you were able to wrangle a preorder before it came out on June 5, it has been incredibly difficult to find any Switch 2s in stock anywhere.

Thankfully, we are finally starting to get some updates about when we can expect more consoles to be available. Walmart has recently confirmed that it will have more Switch 2 stock starting on Wednesday, June 25. The only catch is, Walmart+ members are getting a full one-hour head start to buy one before everyone else.

Walmart Switch 2 Restocks on June 25

As of right now, only the Switch 2 console will be getting restocked on June 25. It is unclear if the popular Mario Kart World bundle will also be available, but since it wasn't specifically called out, we can assume it probably won't be. The Switch 2 will be available for purchase again starting at 9pm ET on Wednesday for Walmart+ members, and 10pm ET for everyone else. Walmart has not specified how many Switch 2s it's getting, but it's highly possible that they will sell out before that exclusive one-hour window ends.

What does a Walmart+ Membership include?

If you don't already have a Walmart+ subscription but still want to try to snag a Switch 2, the good news is that you can actually get it for free. Walmart offers a free 30-day trial of its service for new subscribers. You can sign up for an account now, try to grab a Switch 2, and then later cancel your service – though you may want to take advantage of some of the other benefits of the service before you do. Most notably, Walmart+ is bundled with Paramount+. You'll also get free grocery delivery from your local store, as well as free shipping on anything with no order minimum.
