Last updated
Ever wondered where your downloaded games go on your Nintendo Switch? Well, you’re not alone! Let’s dive into how you can quickly find and access your favorite downloaded games on your console.
So, how exactly do you locate games you’ve downloaded on your Nintendo Switch? Let’s get to the bottom of this gaming mystery.
Quick Steps to Locate Downloaded Games
First things first, turning on your Nintendo Switch is where the fun begins. Use the Joy-Con or the button on your console to wake it up. Once you’re at the home screen, you’re almost there.
Scroll through the icons on the home screen; this is where all your games live. Downloaded games don’t have a special section—they hang out with the rest of your game collection. If you’re having trouble finding a specific game, it might be tucked away under the “All Software” option at the end of your game row. Click on it, and voila! All your games, including the ones you’ve downloaded, will appear in a grid for you to explore.
