Last updated
Ever wondered if your favorite Nintendo Switch games will work on the Switch Lite? You’re not alone! Let’s dive into this burning question and clear up any confusion.
So, are all Nintendo Switch games compatible with the Switch Lite? The short answer is almost all, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Keep reading to find out more!
Short Answer: Almost All!
Most Nintendo Switch games are indeed playable on the Switch Lite. The Switch Lite is a smaller, handheld-only version of the original Switch designed for gaming on the go. Because of this design, it plays nearly all the same games.
However, there are a few games or game modes that require Joy-Con controllers to be detached for certain gameplay features, which the Switch Lite doesn’t support natively. But don’t worry! You can still play these games if you buy separate Joy-Con controllers and connect them wirelessly to your Switch Lite.
