Last updated
Ever wondered how you can play Nintendo Switch with your buddies? It’s easier and more fun than you think!
If you’re asking yourself how to get your gaming session on with friends using a Nintendo Switch, you’re in the right place.
Quick Steps to Multiplayer Fun
Playing Nintendo Switch with friends is all about connecting and sharing the joy. Whether you’re in the same room or miles apart, Nintendo makes it easy to team up or go head-to-head.
For local multiplayer, simply detach the Joy-Con controllers, and you’re set for a two-player game right out of the box. For more friends, just add more controllers. To play online, you’ll need a Nintendo Switch Online membership. Once subscribed, you can add friends via your Nintendo account and jump into games together.
Why Playing With Friends Is Better
Gaming with friends isn’t just fun; it’s a way to build memories. Tackling challenges together or battling it out in friendly competition brings people closer. Plus, with the Switch’s versatile gaming options, there’s always a new adventure waiting.
From split-screen races in ‘Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’ to exploring together in ‘Animal Crossing: New Horizons,’ the Switch has something for every group of friends. The shared joy of gaming creates lasting bonds and unforgettable moments.
