How to Switch Your Nintendo Switch to TV Mode

Ever wondered how you can take your portable gaming experience with the Nintendo Switch to the big screen? You’re in the right place to find out!

So, how do you switch the Nintendo Switch to TV? Let’s dive in.

The Quick and Easy Guide

Switching your Nintendo Switch to TV mode is a breeze! First, you need the Nintendo Switch dock that came with your console. This magical little box is the key to your big-screen adventure.

Here’s what you do: plug your Switch dock into your TV via the HDMI cable. Make sure your TV is on the correct HDMI input. Then, you simply slide your Nintendo Switch console down into the dock. Voila! Your game should now display on your TV screen. It’s that easy.

Leveling Up Your Gaming Experience

Playing on a larger screen takes gaming to a whole new level. You’ll see the colors of Hyrule in “The Legend of Zelda” pop and the race tracks in “Mario Kart” become even more thrilling. It’s not just about seeing the game bigger; it’s about being totally immersed in the world of your game.

And remember, when you’re done playing on the TV and want to go portable again, just lift the Switch console out of the dock. You don’t need to pause your game—it switches over seamlessly. How cool is that?
