Can You Gift Nintendo Switch Digital Games?
Last updated
Ever wondered if you could send a digital game to a friend as a gift on their Nintendo Switch? You’re not alone! Let’s clear up that curiosity right away.
Is it possible to give Nintendo Switch digital games as presents? We’ve got the scoop for you.
Short Answer: Not Directly
Currently, Nintendo does not allow you to gift digital games directly through the Nintendo eShop. Unlike some other platforms where you can buy a game and send it to someone else’s account, the eShop operates a bit differently.
However, don’t worry! There are still ways to share the joy of Nintendo Switch games with your friends and family.
How to Gift a Game Then?
While you can’t send games directly from the eShop, Nintendo offers eShop Gift Cards. These cards can be purchased from various retailers, both in physical stores and online. You can give these gift cards to your friends, and they can use the credit to buy digital games on their Nintendo Switch.
Another option is buying digital game codes from third-party retailers. Some online stores sell digital codes for Nintendo Switch games that you can gift to someone. They just need to redeem the code on their eShop account to download the game.
