Though the Switch 2 will not be available for several weeks, one retailer will offer its members a tempting offer. According to Wario64 on social media, wholesale retailer Costco will offer a Switch 2 bundle that includes the digital version of the highly anticipated Mario Kart World and a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online membership with the Expansion Pack upgrade. The Costco Switch 2 bundle is on sale starting June 5 and is unavailable for pre-order. The Switch 2 bundle is also exclusive to Costco stores in the US and is only available to customers with a Costco membership.

Costco Will Offer Members A Valuable Switch 2 Bundle Starting June 5

Costco's annual memberships start at $65 for the Gold Star tier and $130 for the Executive membership. A Costco membership includes two membership cards, meaning customers can offer the extra card to a friend or family member looking to buy the Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle. However, the Costco Switch 2 bundle is limited to one purchase per membership, though this limit is reset after seven days.

Although no price for the bundle was listed by Costco, the Switch 2 Mario Kart World set and the Switch Online membership with the Expansion Pack usually cost $499.99 and $49.99, respectively, for a combined price of $549.98 before taxes and fees. Wario64 speculated that a $10 discount could be applied to entice Costco members, which would bring the combined price down to $539.

With several million Switch 2 units planned for the June 5 launch, a retailer bundle may be a more consistent way to get Nintendo's next console. It remains to be seen what price Costco will set for its Switch 2 bundle.
