Nintendo Seeds New Switch 2 Bundles Ahead of Price Jump

Nintendo announced two Switch 2 bundles before a $50 price increase: a $550 Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle that includes 90 days of Nintendo Switch Online and a $530 Nintendo Switch Sports Resort bundle, with the console price rising to $500 on Sept. 1. The bundles offer savings versus buying the items separately later, and the Sports Resort bundle arrives Oct. 22. A prior limited-time three-game bundle appears to be phased out as the price hike rolls in.

FFXIV Switch 2 details: its own sub, coin system, and NSO perk

Square Enix outlined Final Fantasy XIV on Nintendo Switch 2: the Switch 2 version requires a separate subscription, with subscription fees waived for about a month after launch and a 30‑day free play window once that ends; if you have remaining time on other platforms, the Switch 2 sub is half price (not while free time is active). Payments on Switch 2 use FFXIV Coins bought via the Nintendo eShop and credited after you re‑log in; when playing only on Switch 2, all payments are via FFXIV Coins. A Nintendo Switch Online perk adds one free extra aetheryte destination, and linking your Nintendo and Square Enix accounts is required (they cannot be unlinked). Moving characters between platforms requires selecting your existing service account. Complete Editions are 30% off until Aug 13, 2026.

FFXIV Lands on Switch 2 With Free Month, Cross-Platform Sub Options, and Online Perk

Final Fantasy XIV launches on Nintendo Switch 2 with a temporary launch subsidy: subscription fees are waived for about a month, followed by a 30-day free play period when you register a new platform; after that you must subscribe to continue. The Switch 2 version has its own subscription, with a possible half-price rate if you have active game time on another platform (not while free time is active). No Nintendo Switch Online subscription is required to play, but Switch Online members get one free extra-aetheryte destination on the Switch 2 version. FFXIV Coins, bought via Nintendo eShop, pay for subscriptions and store items and are credited after you re-login. The Complete Edition is 30% off until Aug 13, 2026. To start, link your Nintendo and Square Enix accounts, purchase on the profile you’ll use, then relaunch to credit coins. The launcher will share game-news and early Switch 2 gameplay is available.
