Ever wondered how to make a Nintendo Switch your primary console? You’re in the right spot to find out.

So, you’ve got yourself more than one Nintendo Switch (lucky you!) and you’re scratching your head thinking, “How do I set my primary Nintendo Switch?” Let’s dive in and clear up the confusion!

Quick Answer: Setting Your Primary Console

Setting your primary Nintendo Switch is simpler than you might think. All it takes is a few taps on your device.

First, you need to access the Nintendo eShop on the console you want to set as your primary. Then, go to your account information, where you’ll find the option to deregister your current primary console. Once deregistered, the next console you access the eShop with automatically becomes your primary. Easy peasy!

Why Make a Switch Your Primary?

Having a primary Nintendo Switch lets you play downloaded games offline and share game downloads with other non-primary consoles. It’s all about making gaming as flexible and enjoyable as possible.

Just remember, while you can play games on non-primary consoles, you’ll need to be connected to the internet. Setting up a primary console optimizes your gaming experience, especially if you have more than one Switch at home.
