Last updated
Ever wondered if you can share your favorite Nintendo Switch games with your family? Let’s dive into this question and find out what options you have for sharing the gaming joy with your loved ones.
So, the big question on every Nintendo fan’s mind is: Can you family share Nintendo Switch games? Let’s explore the answer together.
Yes, You Can Share!
Good news, gamers! Nintendo does allow you to share your purchased digital games with your family members. However, there are a few steps you need to follow to set it up correctly.
First, you’ll need to create a Nintendo Account for each family member. Then, you designate one Nintendo Switch console as the primary console for the account that purchased the game. On this primary console, any user can play the game, regardless of who bought it. For other consoles, the person who purchased the game must be logged in to their Nintendo Account to enable others to play the game on that console. It’s a bit like a puzzle, but once you set it up, it’s all fun and games!
