Last updated
Wondering how you can log out of your Nintendo account on your Switch? Well, you’re in the right place to find out!
Let’s dive straight into the steps you need to follow to sign out of your Nintendo account on your Switch console.
Quick Steps to Log Out
Logging out of your Nintendo account on your Switch might seem tricky at first, but it’s actually pretty simple. Just follow these steps:
First, you’ll need to go to the System Settings on your Nintendo Switch. Scroll down to ‘Users,’ then select the user profile connected to the Nintendo Account you want to log out from. Now, scroll down to the bottom and select ‘Unlink Nintendo Account.’ Remember, this will remove the account from your console, but won’t delete it, so you can always log back in later.
Why You Might Want to Log Out
You might be wondering, “Why would I even want to log out of my Nintendo account on my Switch?” Good question! Maybe you’re planning to sell your console, or perhaps you’re sharing it with someone else and want to keep your account private. Whatever the reason, it’s good to know how to manage your account settings.
Just remember, if you unlink your Nintendo Account, you won’t lose any purchased content or game saves linked to that account. You can always re-link your account to regain access to your games and saves.
