Can I Have the Same Nintendo Account on Two Switches?
Last updated
Have you ever wondered if you can use the same Nintendo account on two different Nintendo Switch consoles? Let’s dive into this question and get you the answer you’re looking for.
So, is it possible to have your Nintendo account running on two Switches at the same time? Let’s find out.
The Short Answer: Yes, but with a Twist
Yes, you can have the same Nintendo account on two Nintendo Switch consoles. However, there are a few important things to know about how this works.
Firstly, you can make one Switch your ‘Primary Console,’ and the other one becomes a ‘Secondary Console.’ On your primary console, any user can play the games you’ve downloaded. But, on the secondary console, only the account holder can play those games, and you need to be connected to the internet to verify it’s you.
