Last updated
Ever wonder how you can take your Nintendo Switch experience to the next level by going online? You’re in the right place to find out!
Let’s get straight to the point – how do you go online on your Nintendo Switch? It’s simpler than you might think.
Getting Your Nintendo Switch Online
First things first, to go online, you need an internet connection. Navigate to your Switch’s System Settings, scroll down to Internet, and then select Internet Settings. Your Switch will start searching for available Wi-Fi networks. Choose your network, enter the password, and voilà, you’re connected!
But connecting to the internet is just the start. To play games online, download new games, and use other cool online features, you’ll need a Nintendo Switch Online membership. This membership gives you access to online play in many games, exclusive offers, and more. You can sign up for it directly through your console or on Nintendo’s website.
