How to Deactivate the Primary Console on Your Nintendo Switch

Ever wondered how you can switch up your primary console on the Nintendo Switch? Maybe you’ve got a new device or you’re just looking to make some changes. We’ve got you covered!

Let’s dive into how you can deactivate your primary console on the Nintendo Switch, making room for a new primary console in your gaming life.

Easy Steps to Deactivate Your Primary Console

To start, you’ll need direct access to your current primary Nintendo Switch console. Here’s the quickest way to make the change:

First, navigate to the System Settings menu on your Nintendo Switch. Scroll down and select the ‘Users’ option, then click on your Nintendo Account. Here, you’ll see an option for ‘Primary Console’; select it and then choose to deactivate. It’s that simple. Just a few taps and you’re all set!

If you don’t have access to your console, don’t worry! You can also deactivate a console remotely via the Nintendo website. Log in to your Nintendo account, go to the ‘Shop Menu’, select ‘Deregister Primary Console’, and follow the instructions. Keep in mind, you can only do this once per year, so make sure it’s what you really want to do.
