Are Games Built Into the Nintendo Switch?

Last updated
Ever wondered if the Nintendo Switch comes with games already inside it, ready to play right out of the box? You’re not alone; it’s a question many have about this popular gaming console.
Let’s dive into whether or not the Nintendo Switch has built-in games.
Short Answer: No
The Nintendo Switch does not come with built-in games. Unlike some older consoles that had games pre-loaded, the Switch requires you to purchase games separately. This gives you the freedom to choose exactly what you want to play.
However, there is a silver lining. The Switch has a vast library of games available for purchase, including hits from famous franchises like Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon. Plus, the eShop offers free demos and some free-to-play games to get you started.
