Do Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite Use the Same Games?
Last updated
Ever wondered if your favorite games can run on both the Nintendo Switch and the Switch Lite? If so, you’re not alone. This is a common question among gamers who are looking to expand their console collection.
Let’s get down to business and answer the question: Can the same games be played on both the Nintendo Switch and the Switch Lite?
Yes, They Do!
Good news, gamers! The Nintendo Switch and the Switch Lite indeed use the same games. Both consoles are designed to play Nintendo Switch games that don’t require the use of Joy-Con controllers in their unique detachable form.
However, there are a few things to keep in mind. Since the Switch Lite is a handheld-only device, games that require detachable Joy-Con controllers (for motion control or tactile feedback, for example) might need you to purchase separate Joy-Con controllers to play them as intended on the Switch Lite.
