How to Share Nintendo Switch Games with Family
Last updated
Ever wondered how you can share your favorite Nintendo Switch games with your family? Well, you’re not alone! It’s a common question among gamers who want to spread the joy of gaming with their loved ones.
Let’s dive into how you can share those awesome Nintendo Switch games with your family.
Easy Steps to Game Sharing
Sharing games on the Nintendo Switch is simpler than you might think. The key is understanding Nintendo’s system for digital game sharing.
First, you need to set up one Switch console as the primary console for the account that purchased the games. Any user on this primary console can access and play the games without restrictions. Then, on another Switch console (let’s call it the secondary console), log in with the same account that purchased the games. This allows the secondary console to access and play the games as long as it is connected to the internet.
Keep Everyone Happy and Gaming
By setting up game sharing this way, you can keep everyone in the household happy. Your family members can play the same game on different consoles, or even play multiplayer games together if you’ve purchased extra copies. It’s a fantastic way to maximize fun without buying additional games for every family member.
Just remember, the secondary console needs an internet connection to verify the game’s ownership. So, make sure your Wi-Fi is up and running smoothly for uninterrupted gaming sessions.
