Nintendo Switch 2 Holiday Deals: Official eShop Sale, Game Discounts, and Bundle Cuts

Continuing Switch 2 holiday promotions—following Micro Center's recent $50 discount on the standalone console—Nintendo launched its official Holiday Sale on December 22, with up to 75% off eShop games like Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition and a $50 cut on the Mario Kart World bundle, available until January 5 amid end-of-year value hunting.

Nintendo's Holiday Sale for the Switch 2, running December 22, 2025, through January 5, 2026, delivers deep eShop discounts, headlined by Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition at $17.50 (75% off from $70), including Phantom Liberty. Deals expert Wario64 confirmed the legitimacy via Nintendo's press release. Other highlights include Star Wars: Outlaws ($40 from $60), Hollow Knight: Silksong ($16 from $20), No Man’s Sky ($24 from $60), NBA 2K26 ($28 from $70), Dave the Diver ($12 from $20), and Street Fighter 6 ($20 from $40). Some offers may end early due to overlaps.

The Mario Kart World bundle joins the action at $450 (down $50 from $500) at Amazon and Best Buy—valued at $530 with console, Joy-Con 2, dock, and digital game voucher. A GameStop memo signals discontinuation post-Fall 2025; Walmart has it at $499, GameStop at $500, Target sold out.

Accessories are discounted too: Joy-Con 2 Wheel Set ($20 from $25), 256GB Samsung P9 microSD ($33 from $55), RDS Industries Game Traveler Deluxe case ($25 from $30), and PowerA Slim Case ($13.30 from $20). These deals build on earlier retailer promotions like Micro Center's in-store console cut, boosting Switch 2 momentum this holiday.
