Here’s where you can buy the Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One today

By

With so many of us stuck at home, the video game industry has benefited as people look for ways to pass the time. As a result, it’s a bit difficult to find a retailer with consoles in stock. Have no fear: We’ve combed through dozens of retailers to not only find ones with the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in stock but those that are shipping quickly.

Some retailers are prioritizing “essential” items right now, which means you could be waiting much longer than you would otherwise. Here are our picks for the best places to find the most popular consoles.

Nintendo Switch

The Nintendo Switch has proven to be a stay-at-home favorite thanks to its portability — you can use it as a console or a handheld — thus the name. But it’s also tough to find, and right now there are no retailers with consoles in stock at regular retail prices. We are noticing some consoles on eBay, but just a fair warning, they are being marked up quite a bit, unfortunately. We’ll continue to watch retailers for new stock, and add a link as soon as we see it — but if you can’t wait, this is your only option right now.

Nintendo Switch Lite

The story isn’t much rosier as far as stock goes for the Nintendo Switch Lite, either, although it seems that Nintendo might be catching up with demand somewhat as Target recently got new stock in that hasn’t sold out in a matter of minutes. We’d recommend acting quickly here as stock doesn’t last long. Here’s where you can pick up the NS Lite today.

  • Nintendo Switch Lite (Gray) at Best Buy

     — $200

  • Nintendo Switch Lite (Turquoise) at Best Buy

     — $200

  • Nintendo Switch Lite (Yellow) at Best Buy

     — $200

  • Nintendo Switch Lite (Gray) at Target

     — $200

  • Nintendo Switch Lite (Turquoise) at Target

     — $200

PlayStation 4

The PlayStation 4 doesn’t seem to stay in stock for that long when it appears. But we’ve been can report that the PS4 is in stock from the retailers below as of the publish time of this article. We’ll keep updating it as stock and availability changes.

  • PS4 (1TB) at Best Buy

     — $300

PlayStation 4 Pro

Given that it’s a bit more expensive than your standard PS4, the Pro version is typically in better stock at the major retailers. Here are some places you can pick up a PS4 Pro today.

  • PS4 Pro (1TB) at Gamestop

     — $400

  • PS4 Pro (1TB) at Target

     — $400

  • PS4 Pro at Kohl’s

     — $400

Xbox One S

The Xbox One S, the cheaper of the two current Xbox consoles, seems to be in much better stock at many retailers than some of the other consoles on our list, but we wouldn’t recommend sitting around as gamers might opt for an Xbox should the other consoles remain as in short supply.

Xbox One X

The more expensive Xbox One X, like the high-end PS Pro, is in better stock at more retailers. Here’s where we recommend picking up yours.

  • Xbox One X (1TB) Star Wars Bundle at Target

     — $400

  • Xbox One X (1TB) NBA 2K20 Bundle at Best Buy

     — $400

  • Xbox One X (1TB) NBA 2K20 Bundle

Marvel’s Midnight Suns for Nintendo Switch canceled ahead of last-gen launch
Hulk shouts at an enemy in Marvel's Midnight Suns.

Superhero strategy game Marvel's Midnight Suns is getting its long-delayed Xbox One and PS4 port on May 11, but there's some bad news for Nintendo Switch owners: The Switch version of the game has been canceled.
2K Games and Firaxis released Marvel's Midnight Suns, a card-based strategy game focusing on the supernatural side of the Marvel comic book universe, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S last December. While Digital Trends enjoyed the game, it underperformed financially and the game's director left Firaxis altogether following its release. Originally slated to launch alongside the current-gen versions of Midnight Suns in October 2022, the PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch versions of the game were indefinitely delayed when the game was pushed to December.

Now, the PS4 and Xbox One ports will finally come out digitally alongside the Blood Storm expansion on May 11, but 2K confirmed in the press release announcing the date that "the Nintendo Switch version of Marvel's Midnight Suns will no longer be offered as part of updated plans."
Additionally, the release calls Blood Storm the "final" DLC for Midnight Suns, so it seems unlikely that the game will continue to receive lots of post-launch support, unlike other Firaxis titles such as Sid Meier's Civilization VI and XCOM 2. That's certainly a more muted ending than one would expect from a Marvel game from the industry's premier strategy developers.
Marvel's Midnight Suns will finally launch for PS4 and Xbox One on May 11. It's currently available for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is unintentionally delightful
lord of the rings gollum art

One does not simply walk into Mordor; instead, one might opt to climb up a wall of vines or jump from platform to platform. That’s the crux of what The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is all about.

The game positions the player as the classic Lord of the Rings villain, shining light on his previously unexplored backstory, which includes his capture and subsequent escape from the clutches of evil. It’s a novel concept that I wasn’t exactly sure would work before trying it out for myself. Given all that, I knew I needed to play The Lord of the Rings: Gollum at PAX East, and after going hands-on with it, I came away with mixed thoughts that lean positive, with more than a few caveats.

You can still get a Thunder Shotgun in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2. Here’s how
Fortnite characters in a city.

Fortnite has received plenty of exciting new weapons in Chapter 4 Season 2, and in typical fashion, Epic has also vaulted some of last season's weapons to clean up the loot pool. Among the weapons vaulted for Season 2 is the Thunder Shotgun -- but weirdly, it can still be obtained, as it appears Epic possibly overlooked one NPC who drops it.

Anyone who wants to score the Thunder Shotgun in Season 2 can head over to Frenzy Fields and look for the NPC named Sunflower who walks around the farm. Simply eliminate her and pick up the weapon she drops. It's unclear if this is actually something Epic missed, or if the team just simply didn't want to bother changing up Sunflower's loot drops. Either way, it's currently the only way to obtain the Thunder Shotgun.
