Ever wondered if you can send a digital Nintendo Switch game as a gift to a friend or family member? Well, you’re in the right place to find out!

Let’s get straight to the point: Can you gift a digital Nintendo Switch game? Keep reading to uncover the answer.

Short Answer: Yes, but with a Twist

Technically, you can’t directly gift a digital game from the Nintendo eShop to another person’s Nintendo account. But don’t worry, there’s a clever workaround!

Instead of gifting the game directly, you can purchase a Nintendo eShop Gift Card equivalent to the price of the game you want to gift. Your friend can then use this gift card to buy the game themselves. It’s like giving a gift card for their favorite store!
