Simply put, what exactly is downloadable content on Nintendo Switch? We’re here to break it down in the simplest way possible.
Quick Answer: All About DLC
Downloadable content, or DLC, is extra content for your games that you can download from the Nintendo eShop. It can be anything from new levels, characters, or even entire game expansions. DLC adds more fun and longevity to your favorite games.
Think of DLC as buying an ice cream and then deciding to throw on some extra toppings. It’s still the same sweet treat, but now with more flavors to enjoy. Some DLC is free, but most of the time, it costs a little extra.
