Quick pre-orders:

US: $39.98 at Amazon
UK: £29.99 at Very

Rhythm Heaven Groove (also known as 'Rhythm Paradise Groove' in the UK and Europe) is launching this week, and new US and UK retailers have joined the pre-order party.

Originally, Amazon was pretty late to provide the latest installment in the music rhythm mini-game series, but it's now available to pre-order for $39.98 (Amazon). It's been a similar story in the UK, as Amazon on this side of the pond also finally dropped the game for £33.99, which looked alluring until I spotted it available for £29.99 at Very instead. At that price, it's £4 cheaper than MSRP, and an absolute bargain for a game that's been 10-years in the making.

None of these new additions include any pre-order bonuses, and there's no Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game either. However, that means there are no game-key cards to put up with, as the full game is available on a single Nintendo Switch cart that'll work just fine on both handhelds when the game launches on July 2, later this week.

Rhythm Heaven Groove | $39.98 at Amazon
Amazon US was a bit late to drop its Rhythm Heaven Groove pre-orders, but you can now grab your copy of the game alongside the rest of your shopping.
There are no discounts to be found, but Amazon has been a better sport at delivering new releases on time, so Prime members should at least be able to get the game on release.

Rhythm Heaven Groove| $39.99 at Best Buy

Rhythm Heaven Groove | $39.99 at Best Buy
Best Buy was one of the first US retailers to stock its physical Nintendo Switch copies of Rhythm Heaven Groove. While Best Buy is pretty good for shipping games on release day, do beware that there's a chance the Switch game could arrive after July 2.

View Deal
Rhythm Heaven Groove| $39.99 at Nintendo

Rhythm Heaven Groove | $39.99 at Nintendo
Nintendo was first to drop both the digital and physical copies of Rhythm Heaven Groove, both with the same $39.99 MSRP. There are no pre-order gifts this time around, but you will get the game shipped in a fancy Nintendo-branded box, which is still pretty neat.

View Deal
Rhythm Heaven Groove| $39.99 at GameStop

Rhythm Heaven Groove | $39.99 at GameStop
If you like to keep it old-school and get your pre-orders at GameStop, the US retailer has Rhythm Heaven Groove copies available for its full MSRP. It can take 2-3 days to ship, according to the product page, so you might need to shop elsewhere if you want to play it from day one.

Rhythm Paradise Groove UK pre-orders

Rhythm Paradise Groove| £29.99 at Very

Rhythm Paradise Groove | £29.99 at Very
Very was late to drop its Rhythm Paradise Groove pre-orders, but the phrase 'better late than never' comes to mind when looking at its £29.99 price. A few days before launch, Very remains the cheapest option available for UK shoppers.

View Deal
Rhythm Paradise Groove| £33.99 at Amazon

Rhythm Paradise Groove | £33.99 at Amazon
Amazon was late to the pre-order party, but its product listing for Rhythm Paradise Groove is now live. You can pick up the game for as low as £33.99, making it one of the cheapest options available (alongside the Nintendo UK store) and a no-brainer choice for those with a Prime membership.

Rhythm Paradise Groove| £33.99 at Nintendo

Rhythm Paradise Groove | £33.99 at Nintendo
Nintendo was first to drop its Rhythm Paradise Groove pre-orders. But while the UK Nintendo store is typically awash with free pre-order gifts, there's no such thing available this time around. You can at least grab a physical copy of the game for its full £33.99 and not a penny over.

View Deal
Rhythm Paradise Groove| £39.95 at TheGameCollection

Rhythm Paradise Groove | £39.95 at TheGameCollection
TheGameCollection was one of the cheapest options out there where pre-orders were concerned, but the week of the release it's now shot up to £39.95. While that's disappointing, there is still plenty of stock, so it's available for those who want it.

Rhythm Paradise Groove | Check stock at Argos
Argos can be a bit behind when it comes to providing the latest Switch pre-orders, but the game has still yet to appear at the iconic UK retailer. There's every chance Rhythm Paradise Groove will appear after launch, but I wouldn't get my hopes up at this rate.

Rhythm Heaven Groove FAQ

When is the Rhythm Heaven Groove release date?

Rhythm Heaven Groove launches on the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch 2 on July 2, 2026 for $39.99 / £33.99.

Is the full Rhythm Heaven Groove game on the cart?

Rhythm Heaven Groove is only available as a Nintendo Switch release, so the full game will be available on the physical cartridge. As there's no Nintendo Switch 2-branded release has been announced, there's no planned game-key card version that we know of.

Is there a Rhythm Heaven Groove demo?

Nintendo announced that a Rhythm Heaven Groove demo would be available on the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 24, 2026. As of writing, it is currently available to download from the Nintendo eShop

Hardware Editor

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
