Can I Use My Nintendo Account on Two Switches?
Last updated
Have you ever wondered, ‘Can I use my Nintendo account on 2 Switches?’ Let’s dive into this question and get you the answer you need.
For all the Nintendo fans out there, it’s common to question whether one can use their Nintendo account across multiple Switch consoles. So, let’s clear up the confusion.
Quick Answer: Yes, But With a Catch
Yes, you can use your Nintendo account on two Switches, but there are some things you need to understand. Nintendo allows one primary console and one or more non-primary consoles per account. The primary console gets full access to downloaded games without needing to check in online, while non-primary consoles must check in online before playing.
This setup means you can play your games at home on your primary console and still log in to a second console elsewhere. However, only your primary console allows for offline play of digital games. For non-primary consoles, you need a constant internet connection to verify ownership of the games.
