How to Appear Offline on Nintendo Switch

Ever wondered how you can enjoy your favorite Nintendo Switch games without your friends knowing you’re online? You’re not alone! Let’s dive into how you can appear offline on Nintendo Switch.

So, you’re in the mood to game solo but don’t want your friends to see you online on your Nintendo Switch. We’ve got you covered on making that happen.

Quick Steps to Appear Offline

To appear offline, you’ll need to adjust your User Settings. It’s pretty straightforward: turn on your Nintendo Switch, navigate to your profile on the top left of the home screen, and enter the User Settings menu.

Once you’re in the User Settings, scroll down until you find ‘Friend Settings,’ then select ‘Display online status to’ and choose ‘No one.’ Voila! You’re now offline to your friends, but still totally online for your gaming pleasure.

Why Go Incognito on Your Nintendo Switch?

There are days when uninterrupted solo play is the goal. Maybe you’re tackling a difficult level, or perhaps you’re just not in the mood for multiplayer action. Choosing to appear offline gives you that privacy and control over your gaming experience.

Remember, you can always switch back to online status when you’re ready to join your friends for some gaming fun. It’s all about enjoying your games on your terms.
