Quick pre-orders:

UK: £49.99 at Nintendo (with bonus gifts)

Fox McCloud, Falco, Peppy, and Slippy are finally back, and I'm already practicing my barrel rolls in anticipation of the fast-approaching June 25, 2026, release date.

Switch 2 games have garnered a notoriety for their lofty price points, but surprisingly, the new Star Fox is available for just $49.94 (Amazon) / £41.99 (Very) at a wealth of US and UK retailers. In the US, that's a saving of $10 off its full $59.99 MSRP for a first-party Nintendo game that's not even out yet. However, as alluring as the pre-launch discounts are, I've stuck with paying full price to get my hands on the exclusive pre-order bonuses.

In the UK, grabbing Star Fox for £59.99 at Nintendo means getting hold of a set of official pins and a velcro patch. There isn't a lot of Star Fox merch out there, so that alone has made me comfortable to part with the extra cash. If you want to do the same, the official UK Nintendo store no longer allows you to select the physical game, but digital pre-orders can also get you access to the Star Fox-themed extras.

The Team Star Fox goodies in question have yet to make an appearance in the US, so you'll have to make do with the $10 pre-launch savings instead. So you can do just that, I've gathered all the best US and UK Star Fox pre-order links down below.

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.
