Is the Nintendo eShop Closing on Switch?
Last updated
Have you heard rumors about the Nintendo eShop closing on the Switch and wondered if they’re true? Let’s dive into this topic and clear up any confusion.
So, is the Nintendo eShop really closing on the Switch? We’re here to answer that burning question directly and plainly.
The Short Answer: No
First off, breathe easy! The Nintendo eShop is not closing on the Switch. Nintendo continues to support the Switch and its online storefront with a strong lineup of games, updates, and services. The eShop remains the go-to digital marketplace for all your Switch gaming needs.
The confusion might come from news about older consoles’ online services changing, but the Switch is Nintendo’s current focus. With a strong market presence and millions of units sold, shutting down the eShop on the Switch would not make sense.
