Don’t worry: Best Buy’s Switch 2 preorders aren’t only for in-store pickup.

A push notification I got kind of reads like Best Buy’s Switch 2 preorders are only for in-store pickup. Language on Best Buy’s website when I first wrote this post could also be read that way.

But Best Buy’s Julia Benda tells me that “shipping and pickup will both be available for preorders.” And Best Buy’s website now says you can choose in-store pickup or “shipping for delivery at a later date.”

Preorders start at 12AM ET.

Update: Best Buy clarified its website.

A Best Buy push notification that reads: Set your Alarm. Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order begins on 4/24 at midnight ET. Pre-order to pick up 6/5 at select late-night store openings. Limited quantities.
