The official Switch 2 camera has appeared on Amazon for those lucky enough to be based in the UK. Right now, the official camera is available to pre-order for £59.99 and is expected to be released on June 5, 2025, the same day as the Switch 2.
Better yet, there's no tedious invite request to be found. All you need to do is click the 'pre-order now' button, and you're good to go. Alternatively, you could wait until it pre-orders for the camera are live on the official Nintendo website, which will go live on April 8 next week. However, going through Amazon means you get access to their "Pre-order Price Guarantee" and speedy shipping if you happen to be an active Prime subscriber - and are desperate to have everything Switch 2 as soon as possible.
Of course, you don't need the USB-C camera either. But having it amongst the rest of your Switch 2 gaming setup means you can video chat with friends via the new Discord-like 'GameChat' feature, and take full advantage of the brand-new game modes and camera-based mini-games in Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV, which launches on July 25, later this year.
If you want the new handheld, check out our How to pre-order the Nintendo Switch 2 guide for tips and tricks to beat the rush. If you want to stick with your current Switch instead, picking up one of the best Nintendo Switch SD cards, or the best Nintendo Switch controllers can help get the most out of your beloved older Ninty machine.
