The Best Buy Switch 2 midnight launch is officially happening on June 5, with select locations opening their doors at 12:01 AM for eager fans. The retailer confirmed the rollout includes early preorders, exclusive launch coins, and limited in-store stock for Nintendo’s next-gen handheld hybrid.

In-store stock will also be available on a first-come, first-served basis — though supplies are expected to be limited. Best Buy recommends arriving early, especially for those hoping to buy without a preorder.
Special Coin Promo Returns
Just like the 2017 Switch rollout, Best Buy is bringing back a small collectible — a limited-run launch day coin, available at select locations for those picking up or purchasing a Switch 2. The design features a minimalist Switch 2 logo on one side and Nintendo branding on the other.
It’s a nostalgic nod to previous Nintendo rollouts and a nice bonus for early adopters. Best Buy hasn’t said how many will be available at each store.
Final Thoughts
Best Buy’s participation adds credibility to the Switch 2’s rollout as a big retail event. Between physical bonuses, local crowds, and the energy of a shared countdown, this Best Buy Switch 2 midnight launch could quietly become a memorable moment in a world that doesn’t get many midnight lines anymore.
