Players interested in the Switch 2 pre-order will need to have been a Switch Online member for at least 12 months and clocked at least 50 hours of gamep

Argos currently has both the regular console and Mario Kart World bundle in stock, so it should be your first port of call for Switch 2 pre-orders. You'll need to insert your own post code for specific availability, but things are looking strong right now across the board.

Right now, the main things we know about the Switch 2 hardware that distinguish it from the original Switch are that it's bigger and has more horsepower inside. The widespread expectation is that it will be roughly as powerful as a PlayStation 4 Pro or maybe even a Steam Deck, possibly with the ability to upscale games to 4K using DLSS technology.
