Switch 2 UK Pre-Orders Are Being Cancelled One Week Before Launch
- UK retailer Game cancelled some Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders on May 29, one week before the console's June 5 launch.
- The cancellations followed strong early pre-order demand starting in April, but Game has not provided a reason for the action.
- Game apologised on social media, acknowledged customer disappointment, and stated it is working hard to reinstate affected pre-orders.
- Nintendo reported over 2.2 million people signed up to pre-order Switch 2, saying demand far exceeded prior expectations and some will miss out.
- These developments suggest that obtaining a Switch 2 on release day in the UK may be difficult for some customers due to supply and retailer issues.
