How to Shut Down Your Nintendo Switch
Last updated
Have you ever wondered how to properly shut down your Nintendo Switch? Whether you’re trying to conserve battery life or you just want to give your console a break, turning it off correctly is important. Let’s get straight to it and answer that burning question on how to shut down your Nintendo Switch.
Turning off your Nintendo Switch might not be something you think about often, but it’s a simple process that can help keep your console running smoothly. So, how exactly do you do it?
The Simple Steps to Shut Down Your Nintendo Switch
Turning off your Nintendo Switch is easier than you might think. First, hold the power button located on the top-left side of the console for about 3 seconds. This will bring up the power menu on your screen. Then, simply select “Power Options” and choose “Turn Off.” Voilà! Your Nintendo Switch is now safely shut down.
Shutting down your Switch completely is different from putting it into Sleep Mode, which is what happens when you just press the power button quickly. Sleep Mode turns off the screen and puts your Switch in a low-power state, but it doesn’t completely turn off the console. Remember, fully shutting down your console can help extend its lifespan and keep it running smoothly.
