GameStop’s Nintendo Switch 2 trade-in deal has seemingly leaked, offering big discounts for buyers who already own a Switch.
The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct Showcase airs tomorrow on April 2 and is expected to finally unveil a new in-depth look at the console, along with the long-awaited release date, pricing, and pre-orders details.
However, it seems that another leak has broken ahead of the event, and this time, it’s a big money-saving offer at GameStop.
As spotted by X / Twitter user MikeOdysseyYT (via 9meters) GameStop’s trade-in deal reveals that it will be offering three different discounts when buyers exchange their original Switch, Switch Lite, or Switch OLED for the Switch 2.
Trading in the OLED will get you $175 toward your Switch 2 reservation, the original Switch (V1 or V2) $125, and the Switch Lite $100.

We don’t know how much the Switch 2 will cost just yet, but these offers are brilliant if you’re looking to save money on the upcoming console.
According to Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa, the company is aware of rising inflation but has said the console will be in line with the “affordable prices customers expect”.
TechRadar Gaming predicts that the Switch 2 will cost around $399.99 / £349.99 / AU$699.95, which is more expensive than the original Switch that launched in 2017 and started at $259.99 / £259.99 / AUD$435.
