Nintendo has opened pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 and its digital games to paid Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) members in the UK, removing the previous invite-only requirement. The pre-orders are now available directly through Nintendo's websites in various regions, including the UK, Spain, and France. Digital versions of popular titles such as Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, Super Mario Party Jamboree, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom can be reserved online. Additionally, Nintendo Switch 2 offers two types of game cards: traditional Game Cards for offline play and Game-Key Cards for quick digital downloads.

In related gaming news, Xbox's Forza Horizon 5 has sold over 1.2 million copies on PlayStation 5 since its launch, and PlayStation has regained the lead in Call of Duty player share as of March 2025, holding 33% compared to Xbox's 32.5%. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe continues to perform strongly, selling an additional 6 million copies in the past year. Meanwhile, PlayStation 5's share of active US players is gradually surpassing that of Xbox.
