Do You Need Wi-Fi to Set Up a Nintendo Switch?

Wondering if you need Wi-Fi to start the fun with your Nintendo Switch? Let’s dive into how you can set up your shiny new console.

So, the big question on every new Nintendo Switch owner’s mind: Do you really need Wi-Fi to get it up and running? Let’s find out.

Short Answer: Not Necessarily

No, you don’t absolutely need Wi-Fi to set up a Nintendo Switch. You can go through most of the initial setup process without an internet connection. However, to enjoy the full capabilities, including downloading games and system updates, you will need Wi-Fi eventually.

Without Wi-Fi, you’ll miss out on some cool features like downloading the latest games, grabbing updates that improve your console’s performance, and playing online with friends. But if you’re just eager to start playing with what you’ve got, Wi-Fi isn’t a dealbreaker for initial setup.
