Today, we’re diving into the simple steps on how to change accounts on your Nintendo Switch. It’s easier than you might think!
Quick Steps to Change Accounts on Nintendo Switch
Changing accounts on your Nintendo Switch is a breeze. First, from the Home Screen, select your profile picture in the top-left corner. This action opens up your profile page.
Next, scroll down and select “User Settings.” Here, you’ll find the “Unlink Nintendo Account” option at the bottom. Remember, this doesn’t delete your account; it simply disconnects it from the console. After you’ve unlinked, you can add a new account by selecting “Add User” from the main menu and following the prompts to link a new Nintendo Account.
