Ever wondered if Nintendo can track down your stolen Switch? You’re not alone. It’s a question many gamers ask, especially when their precious console goes missing.

Can the big N really help find your stolen Switch? Let’s dive into the details and discover the answer together.

Short Answer: Not Directly

Nintendo doesn’t offer a GPS tracking service for the Switch. So, if someone snatches your console, Nintendo can’t pinpoint its exact location and give you a map to its door.

However, Nintendo does have a few tricks up its sleeve. For one, if you contact them with your serial number, they can prevent the stolen console from accessing online services. This won’t get your Switch back, but it does make it less enjoyable for the thief.
