Ever wondered how you can play games with your friends on the Nintendo Switch? Let’s dive into that!

Today, we’re tackling the question: How do you do multiplayer on the Nintendo Switch?

Jumping Into Multiplayer Fun

Playing multiplayer on the Nintendo Switch is easy peasy! First, decide if you want to play locally with friends in the same room or online with friends far away.

For local multiplayer, simply attach the Joy-Con controllers to the Switch. Each player grabs one, and voilà, you’re ready to race in “Mario Kart” or battle in “Super Smash Bros.” No extra stuff needed.

Online Multiplayer Madness

Prefer playing with pals online? You’ll need a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. This service lets you play with friends all over the globe. Now, games like “Splatoon” and “Animal Crossing” become even more fun!

After subscribing, just head to the game you want to play, find the multiplayer option, and follow the prompts to invite your friends or join their game. Easy!
