Ever wondered if you can keep playing your favorite Nintendo Switch games while the console is charging? Let’s get into it!

Is it possible to play on your Nintendo Switch at the same time as giving it some juice? Absolutely, and we’re here to tell you how.

Yes, You Can Play While Charging!

Good news, gamers! You can absolutely play your Nintendo Switch while it’s plugged in and charging. This means no more pausing your game when the battery gets low.
