Can You Get an Internet Browser on Nintendo Switch?
Last updated
Ever wondered if you can surf the web on your Nintendo Switch, just like you do on your phone or computer? It’s a common question many Nintendo fans have.
Let’s dive right in and see if the Nintendo Switch allows you to explore the vast online world with an internet browser.
Short Answer: It’s Complicated
Out of the box, the Nintendo Switch doesn’t come with a traditional internet browser you might be used to on other devices. That means no easy Google searches or browsing your favorite websites directly.
However, there is a workaround that allows for some basic internet browsing. The Switch has a built-in feature for connecting to Wi-Fi networks, which includes a limited browser for signing into Wi-Fi networks. This browser can be used for simple web surfing, but it’s not officially supported for broad internet browsing.
