Virgin Media offers free Nintendo Switch in new TV and broadband deals

Although we still perceive 2017 as being two or three years ago, it’s actually been seven years since Nintendo released its handheld console, the Nintendo Switch - and in 2024, it’s still one of the most popular gaming devices around.

There are three models of the Nintendo Switch console to choose from: the original Nintendo Switch (which features in this Virgin Media offer), the Nintendo Switch OLED, and the Nintendo Switch Lite. You can play a whole host of exciting games on the Nintendo Switch, such as Mario Kart 8, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Minecraft and FIFA 23.

For a limited time only, you can claim a free Nintendo Switch when you switch to Virgin Media. The big draw to Virgin Media is that you’re able to put your TV, broadband and phone costs together in one convenient payment, which not only makes it easier to manage each bill, but can cut costs, too.

Virgin Media also partners with mobile provider O2 for its Volt deals: Virgin Media products and services alongside an O2 SIM card.

Looking to make the switch to Virgin Media? We have an offer which is sure to sweeten the deal.
