Costco offers Switch 2 bundle with free accessories and subscription
Members can secure over $100 in added value with the bundle, which is available before the standalone console price rises by $50 on 1 September 2026.
Costco is offering its members a $499.99 bundle for the Nintendo Switch 2, a deal that includes the console, a 256GB microSD Express card, and a one-year subscription to Nintendo Switch Online’s Expansion Pack tier. The package provides over $100 in added value, with the storage card valued at approximately $59 and the subscription at $49.99. This offer is available ahead of a planned $50 price increase for the standalone console on 1 September 2026.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is scheduled for release in the near future, with weeks remaining until launch. The console comes with 256GB of internal storage, which may be insufficient for users looking to maintain a large library of digital titles. First-party Nintendo games typically range from 10GB to 25GB, while larger third-party titles can reach up to 50GB. The included microSD Express card is designed to store an additional 5 to 20 games, depending on their size.
The Nintendo Switch Online service is a subscription platform that provides access to online multiplayer features and classic game libraries. The Expansion Pack tier is a premium version of the service that adds more retro titles and modern game enhancements. It includes cloud saving, online play, and classic NES, SNES, and Game Boy titles.
The Expansion Pack also features games from the GameCube, Game Boy Advance, N64, and Virtual Boy. Additionally, it includes modern game upgrades, specifically for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. These upgrades are designed to enhance the experience on the new hardware.
Costco’s membership-based warehouse club model allows it to offer these bundled deals to its members. The retailer’s decision to include these accessories and the subscription service ahead of the console’s price increase positions the bundle as a significant value proposition for consumers preparing for the Switch 2 launch.
