Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch deals fared a lot better last year than we had hoped for. We often see the biggest bundles and discounts run off the shelves even before Friday's offerings have come to a close, which means Cyber Monday has traditionally been the playground of older games and cheaper third party accessories. However, last year's holiday sales saw plenty of high-end bundles (including the Mario Kart 8 package and Nintendo Switch OLED discounts) running through to the second sale, and we don't expect to see anything different in 2023.
That's because this year is going to be a tricky one for Nintendo. New hardware may well be on the way, and with a limited release catalog on the table (at least at the time of writing), things seem like they're winding down for the ole' Switch. That means both Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals and Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch deals could be better than ever in 2023.
If you're keen to find out what you can expect when this year's sale lands all those months in the future, we're getting you prepped with everything we've learned from previous sales and the biggest offers to watch out for. We've been tracking Nintendo Switch deals for years now, so we know what a good bundle looks like and just how much you should be paying for each game. That means we have a pretty strong idea of how each year's Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch deals should play out. We're rounding up all our tips and tricks right here.
When will Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch deals start?
Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch deals will officially kick off on November 27 in 2023. However, we often see retailers keeping their Black Friday sale live over the weekend, and blending the two events by the time Sunday rolls around.

What to expect from Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch deals 2023
Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch deals may look a little different to their Black Friday counterparts. If you're on the hunt for a console, we would absolutely recommend getting in earlier than the weekend. After all, while some bundles do last until the second event, the best ones are usually stripped from the shelves before Thanksgiving is even over. These are highly competitive offers, so if you're truly looking for the best value possible you'll need to get in ahead of time.
We do expect some bundles to be leftover once the madness dies down. Larger packages including multiple games and accessories are often the last to leave the shelves. Just make sure that you're not over-paying for anything included in the bundle. This year, we also expect to see some more Nintendo Switch OLED bundles hitting those sale lines as well. The latest console has already seen some excellent price cuts over the course of the year, dropping as low as $330 / £289 (usually $349.99 / $309.99). While straight price cuts like this will likely be reserved for Friday, bundle between the prices of $349 - $369 / £299 - £329 may still be up for grabs.
If you're looking to stock up on games and accessories there's some better news for you. We often see Friday's offers rolling through the weekend on these lower priced options. Cheaper or older games are a surefire bet - last year we saw $20 off the likes of Breath of the Wild, Paper Mario, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, all of which made it through to Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch deals.
Will Nintendo Switch bundles still be available on Cyber Monday?
Nintendo Switch bundles are among the first to go on the big day itself, which means we're not expecting stock to stick around for Cyber Monday. We would recommend jumping in as soon as you see these bundles, and they may well appear during Thanksgiving week. That said, we may see some retailers bringing bundle options back for the second round - but we certainly wouldn't rest on it.
Should you wait for Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch deals?
Absolutely not. The Nintendo Switch is one of the most popular items around in November, and any discounts or bundles will be snatched off the shelves exceedingly quickly. In fact, last year we even saw certain games and accessories running back up to full price before Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch deals had the chance to kick off. While we are expecting plenty of offers to roll through the weekend, this is a sale for anyone who missed out the first time round, rather than a new wave of discounts.
