Pre-Orders Begin for Nintendo Switch 2 Games in India
In a surprising turn of events, Indian gamers can now pre-order games for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2—even though Nintendo has yet to confirm whether the console will launch in India.
Major publishers like Sega and Warner Bros. are jumping the gun, making their titles available for Indian players via Games The Shop, one of India’s popular gaming retailers.
List of Nintendo Switch 2 Games Available for Pre-Order
Here’s what’s up for grabs right now, with an expected release date of June 5, 2025, which aligns with the rumored global release:

Sonic X Shadow Generations – ₹3,499
-
Raidou: Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army – ₹3,499

Hogwarts Legacy – ₹3,999

While there’s no official word from Nintendo, these listings suggest publishers are gearing up for a big launch, possibly even in India.
Will Nintendo Switch 2 Launch in India?
Nintendo is reportedly still navigating Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) regulations. According to gaming analyst Rishi Alwani, Nintendo isn’t fully satisfied with the regulatory landscape in India, which could delay or prevent an official launch.
Despite the uncertainty, the grey market is already preparing for Switch 2 demand. Indian buyers may end up paying a hefty premium—possibly up to 45% more than the official U.S. price of $449.99 (~₹38,000).
Switch 2 Specs – A Big Upgrade Ahead
The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 is shaping up to be a significant improvement:
-
Expected to support 4K at 60fps or 1080p/1440p at 120fps
-
Slightly heavier than the original model
-
Better performance and display quality for next-gen gaming on the go
Final Thoughts
While it remains unclear whether the Switch 2 will officially make it to Indian shores, the availability of game pre-orders is a strong indicator that publishers believe there’s a growing market here. Whether through official channels or the grey market, Indian gamers are clearly ready for the next big leap from Nintendo.
