Someone Pulled Off A Million Dollar Switch 2 Heist
Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Everyone knew that Nintendo Switch 2 was going to be the hottest game console of 2025, but someone has provided an entirely different kind of heat. Earlier this month, thieves stole nearly 3,000 Nintendo Switch 2 consoles out of a truck without being detected until it was too late.
A semi-truck driver reported the theft on June 8 at a truck stop in Bennett, Colorado. The driver told police that he discovered the missing Switch 2 boxes while performing a pre-trip inspection. Police determined that 2,810 Switch 2 consoles were taken.
“They retail at $499. The cost to Nintendo is just over $410,” said Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office public information officer Anders Nelson. “So either way you look at it, it’s well over $1 million worth of merchandise stolen.”
