The Nintendo Switch 2 edition of the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A can now be preordered for just £52.95 at Amazon, the lowest price we’ve seen from major UK retailers so far.
A new adventure set in Lumiose City of Gen 5’s Kalos region, launching on October 16th, Legends Z-A is on average priced a good number of pounds higher at other online stores.
The Switch 2 version of the game is currently priced at £59.99 at shops like Very, Smyths, and Game UK. Some retailers’ prices are even higher, with ShopTo asking for a whopping £66.85, making Amazon or TCG the best options by far right now.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A is also launching on the original Nintendo Switch at lower price points, like TGC for £42.95 or ShopTo for £42.85, for example. However, the higher cost comes with “improved performance with higher frame rate and resolution”, as stated on Nintendo’s list of upgraded Switch 2 games.
If the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Switch vs Switch 2 comparison is anything to go by, following our first look at the older game’s free update, the new console’s upgraded hardware will make the higher price tag worthwhile.
While some older Switch games like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom have the option to buy an upgrade pack for the Switch 2, those two being for £7.99 each, it’s currently unconfirmed as to whether Pokemon Legends: Z-A will have the same option.
Based on that pricing, though, it’s possible the Legends: Z-A upgrade pack will cost even more since it will be a brand-new game. While still in stock at The Game Collection, we’d recommend jumping on this lower price for the Switch 2 edition now, so you won’t have to worry about potentially paying more in the future.
