Yes, You Can Share Games!
Good news for Nintendo fans! Yes, you can share your beloved games with a friend on the Nintendo Switch. It’s like giving a slice of your gaming cake to a buddy and still enjoying the whole piece yourself!
Game sharing on the Nintendo Switch involves setting up your account as the primary account on a friend’s console while they do the same on yours. This way, both of you can play the same game at no extra cost. It’s a cool feature Nintendo introduced to make gaming more fun and accessible.
How to Game Share on Nintendo Switch
The process is pretty simple. First, you need to deactivate your console as the primary one for your Nintendo account. Then, log in to your account on your friend’s Switch and set it as your account’s primary console. Remember, your friend needs to do the same on your console. Voila! You’re set to share your games.
Keep in mind, though, you need a stable internet connection to play shared games on a non-primary console. Also, only one person can play a shared game at a time. It’s a tiny catch, but it’s worth it to double the fun.
