How to Switch Profiles on Your Nintendo Switch: A Simple Guide
Last updated
Ever wondered how to swap between player profiles on your Nintendo Switch? We’ve got you covered with the easiest guide around.
Switching profiles on a Nintendo Switch might seem tricky at first, but it’s actually quite straightforward once you get the hang of it.
Quick Steps to Switch Profiles
Ready to jump from one profile to another? First, make sure you’re at the Nintendo Switch’s Home screen. You’ll see your game icons and a row of profile icons on the top left corner. Here’s what to do:
Simply tap on the profile icon you’re currently using. This will bring up all the profiles linked to your Nintendo Switch. From there, just select the profile you want to switch to, and voila! You’re now using a different profile.
Why Switch Profiles on Your Nintendo Switch?
Switching profiles lets everyone in your family or friend group keep their game progress separate. This way, everyone gets to have their own adventures in the land of Hyrule in ‘The Legend of Zelda’ or race around in ‘Mario Kart’ without messing up someone else’s game.
It’s also handy for accessing different Nintendo eShop regions or managing parental controls for younger players. More importantly, it means your high scores stay yours, and there’s no arguing over who achieved what in ‘Super Mario Odyssey’!
