Nintendo Switch 2 consoles are available on shelves in select countries and people are eager to pick up their pre-booked units. But what about those in India, Nintendo has once again skipped launching the Switch model officially in the country, which means people will have to resort to other grey areas to grab theirs. 

We’ve seen this play out with the Sony PlayStation consoles over the years and the Switch 2 follows the same black market model that costs you a premium. 

Nintendo Switch 2 Buying In India: How Much You Might Pay Now

Details are very limited about the Nintendo Switch 2 price in India but reliable sources given in this report suggest you would be paying anywhere between Rs 58,000 to Rs 65,000 to get the Switch 2 in the country. 

The high prices have been attributed to limited stocks in the regions from where the retailers will be getting the units. So if you want the Switch 2 in the first month of its launch, you have to pay a higher markup on the original price. However if you wait for a few months, the pricing will stabilise and make sense for people buying it. 

The details about the Switch 2 console price in India have been sourced by O451 Games newsletter which has a solid track record of sharing details about gaming consoles and their availability in the country. 

Nintendo has officially priced the Switch 2 console at $449.99 which puts it around Rs 38,200 but the reported price for the Switch 2 in takes it well above the Rs 100 value that most global brands use for their product pricing in the country.
