Costco’s great Switch 2 console bundle includes over $100 in free stuff
↗
Costco is selling a Nintendo Switch 2 bundle at $499.99 that includes a 256GB microSD Express card and a year of Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack, matching the current standalone console price before a $50 increase takes effect September 1, 2026.
The bundle locks in the pre-increase price while adding over $100 in accessories most users would need anyway, creating a temporary low-cost entry point to the platform. The imminent price hike makes this a time-limited opportunity that affects total cost of ownership calculations.
