Last updated
Ever wondered if you can share your favorite game across two Nintendo Switch consoles? Let’s dive into it with a clear explanation.
So, the big question is: Can you play one game on two Nintendo Switch consoles? We’re about to unwrap this mystery for you!
Short Answer: It Depends
Yes and no. You can share digital games between consoles, but there’s a catch. Nintendo allows you to download your purchased games on multiple devices, but playing simultaneously comes with restrictions.
To share a game, you’ll need to register one console as your “Primary” and the other as “Secondary.” The Primary console can play games offline, but the Secondary must always be online to access shared games. Plus, both consoles cannot play the same game online at the same time.
