If you're looking to pick up Pikmin 4 when it launches on July 21, 2023 then here are all the best deals we've found for the game, including some extra goodies.
Pikmin 4 may not have the same name recognition as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom or Super Mario Bros. Wonder, but the latest instalment in Nintendo's biggest hidden gem – the Pikmin series – is shaping up to be one of the best games of 2023. Mirror Gaming's Aaron Potter got to go hands on with Pikmin 4 last month, calling it "the franchise’s coming out moment" so this could finally be the one with a wider audience appeal.
And happily, Pikmin 4 pre-orders are available now ahead of the game's July 21 release date next Friday. There's only a single, standard edition available to pre-order, but it comes with different Pikmin 4 pre-order bonuses depending on which retailer you place your pre-order with. The Pikmin 4 price comes in at £49.99 / $59.99 / AU$79.95 but surprisingly – especially for a brand new Nintendo title – you can pick it up at a discount at certain retailers.
The Pikmin 4 demo is also live on the Nintendo Switch eShop, granting you access to the first hours of the game including the entirety of the game's first area – Sun Speckled Terrace. Best of all, your created character and save data from the Pikmin 4 demo will carry over to the full game.
So whether you can't wait to get your hands on the game, or you're keen to see what all of the fuss is about the demo serves as a good introduction to the game. If you're interested and want to 'pik' the game up, we've compiled some of the best places to get a Pikmin 4 pre-order, including the cheapest options as well as those with the best Pikmin 4 pre-order bonuses included.

Pikmin 4 pre-order guide
Pikmin 4 pre-orders are live now, with just a standard edition available. The deciding factor in where to buy the game in this instance is the Pikmin 4 pre-order bonus, as well as early discounts. For example, the Nintendo Store Pikmin 4 pre-order bonus is a Pikmin 4-themed phone holder, while the Amazon Pikmin 4 pre-order bonus is a poster.
Note that if you opt for a digital Pikmin 4 pre-order at any of these retailers, the price is the same, but there's no pre-order bonus.
