What to Do When Your Nintendo Switch is Frozen

Ever been in the middle of an epic gaming session on your Nintendo Switch, only to have it freeze up on you? It’s a bummer, right? Let’s quickly dive into what you can do when your Nintendo Switch decides to take an unexpected ice bath.

So, if you’ve ever wondered, “What to do when your Nintendo Switch is frozen,” you’re in the right spot. We’ve got some easy tips to get you back to gaming in no time.

Quick Fix for a Frozen Nintendo Switch

The fastest way to unfreeze your Nintendo Switch is to perform a hard reset. Don’t worry; it’s simple. Just hold down the power button for about 12 seconds. This forces the Switch to shut down completely. After waiting a few moments, press the power button again to turn it back on. Voila! Most times, this quick step is all your console needs to get back into action.

Performing a hard reset won’t delete any of your games or save data, so breathe easy. It’s like giving your Switch a quick nap and then waking it up refreshed and ready to go.
