Get Minecraft on Nintendo Switch for less than £5 with new Argos deal
Minecraft on Nintendo Switch is available for less than £5 from Argos with this offer
Minecraft is the best-selling game of all time, with more than 300 million copies sold. The voxel-based title allows players to construct their own worlds from scratch, or enjoy unlimited blocks at their disposal to build anything they can dream of.
Despite its simple graphics, it can run on virtually any modern hardware, including mobile phones and portable consoles like the Nintendo Switch. In fact, the Nintendo Switch version of Minecraft has just become available for less than £5 for those who use a clever shopping trick at Argos.
The UK retailer is offering the game for £19.99, but those who create a brand new TopCashback account using our unique link can snap it up for £4.74. This is due to a £15 cashback bonus on qualifying purchases over £15, for which Minecraft qualifies.

Even better, Minecraft is compatible with Nintendo's latest console, the Switch 2. Playing the game on this new console offers noticeable improvements such as enhanced load times, superior frame rates and increased enemy counts.
To mark the launch of Minecraft on Nintendo devices, gamers will receive the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack included with the game. This pack features a custom world brimming with Mario-themed Easter eggs and 40 skins based on iconic characters from the Mario series, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Developer Mojang has even included some new music discs to discover in the world that play remixed versions of iconic tracks from Super Mario 64. Minecraft supports co-operative play with up to four people sharing the same television, making it perfect for sofa-based gaming sessions.
For those seeking a more relaxed adventure to enjoy on their Nintendo Switch, Argos also stocks some LEGO games at relatively affordable prices. The LEGO Harry Potter Collection can be snapped up for £15.99, whilst LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 has also dropped to the same price point.
Minecraft boasts an impressive 4.8 star rating from Argos customers. "Great fun playing this with the family. Imagination is your only limit," wrote one buyer.
Another customer added: "This game is so much fun and really worth it. So much to do and really gets you engaged. Took me a while to understand how to play, but once you get the hang of it it's so much fun. Amazing for all ages."
Meanwhile, a third player said: "This is a great game, still as fun to play now as it was when it was first released. My seven year old loves it".
It's worth bearing in mind that whilst Minecraft includes tutorial guidance, the fundamentals can prove challenging for younger players to master.
"Bought this because my son has been asking for ages, not sure I understand the premise of the game or how to work it," one reviewer wrote. "He gets frustrated too, because I can't help him."
Another said: "I brought this last month and I couldn't figure it out. Far too difficult. I was looking forward in building houses etc but no luck."
