Metroid Prime 4: Beyond lands on December 4, 2025. Nintendo’s product pages are already live and preorders already open. The game arrives in two SKUs: a Nintendo Switch version priced at $59.99 and a Switch 2 edition listed at $69.99, mirroring the broader first-party pricing on Nintendo’s next-gen hardware. Both versions will be available digitally and at retail on day one.
Retail listings highlight the usual first-party perks on Switch—voucher eligibility and save-data carryover within the same family of systems—while the Switch 2 edition is being positioned as the premium way to play, with improved image quality and performance targets referenced in marketing beats. Stores are flagging simultaneous cartridge and eShop availability, and most major retailers have opened preorders with standard delivery windows for launch week.
Nintendo’s latest trailer focuses on the hunt for Sylux, the return of visor scanning, and the classic lock-on combat that defines Prime. Environments shown so far lean into wider arenas and more vertical traversal than prior entries, which lines up with the push for smoother frame pacing and faster loads on the newer hardware. Box art, file size, and any optional extras (like amiibo tie-ins) are expected to firm up as we get closer to December.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond lands globally on Dec 4; it’s $59.99 on Switch and $69.99 on Switch 2, with physical and digital options across both platforms and preorders live now.
