Where to pre-order Pikmin 4 (and get the best swag)
Pikmin 4 pre-orders will only run for another week before that July 21 release day creeps up on us. That means anyone on the hunt for some extra swag with their game needs to get to checkout within the next ten days. Thankfully, there are plenty of retailers offering early orders right now, packaging everything from water bottles to sticker sheets in with the $59.99 / £49.99 title.
We're rounding up all your best Pikmin 4 pre-order prospects right here, across both the US and UK. If you want our opinion though? We'd be looking at Walmart (US) and Currys (UK). The former includes a free water bottle for US players and can get your copy to you by release day for free. That's the best bonus and the best delivery timeline we're seeing in the US - all rolled into one.
UK Pikmin 4 pre-orders are a little more complex, and we'd actually recommend avoiding the free swag this time around. While you'll find keyrings, stickers, and posters available from a range of retailers, Currys is actually doing one better and saving you £10 on the game itself. Promo code PIKMIN20 will shave 20% off that final price, netting you the full pre-order for £39.99 - and you can ensure release day delivery to boot. That's one of the best Nintendo Switch deals we're seeing at the moment.
If the above offers don't suit, there are plenty other retailers offering Pikmin 4 pre-orders right now, and you'll find all your options below.
