Some Switch 2 accessories and upgraded games are on sale for Prime Day

theverge.com Cameron Faulkner 2025-08-06 18:30:00

The Nintendo Switch 2 is not discounted for Prime Day. Just getting that out of the way. The fastest-selling console ever came out on June 5th, and only just hit Amazon’s storefront for reservation a couple of days ago. Nevertheless, I thought it’d be fun to share some Prime Day deals I found on Switch 2 accessories and games that have been patched to run better on the new console. Whether you already have a Switch 2 or you’ll be getting one soon, there are some great money-saving opportunities
