Important Things about Nintendo Switch Game Sharing

Prior to the Switch game sharing, you need to know some important things and risks about this operation. Here we list them as follows:

• Make sure you have a primary console and a secondary console. During the Nintendo Switch game share process, one Nintendo Switch will be set as the primary console, and the other will be set as the secondary console.
• Make sure internet connection for the secondary Nintendo Switch while playing games. You won’t be able to play digital games on the secondary Switch without an internet connection.
• The primary console can play everything while online or offline. On the primary console, you can play both digital and physical games normally at any time.
• Only one person can access the games at the given time. When playing a digital game, Nintendo will check if the software is actually owned. If your Nintendo account sees another account is playing it, you won’t play the game on the secondary Switch.
• You have to share your username and password with someone else. There is no doubt that the Switch game sharing will reveal your account to other people. So, share it with some trustworthy people.
• Don’t delete your user profile on your original Nintendo Switch. If you delete the user profile on the original Switch, it will erase all saved data on your local console.
