How share games on the switch 2 (spoiler: is easier than you think)

If your home has more than one Nintendo switch 2You don’t have to buy the same game again and again for each console. I am Instead, nintendo offers two ways to share a single copy of a game you have purchased between multiple switch 2s, using a new function called Virtual game cards. I am I will go through the two.

Before parts, you may have heard of a function called Gameshare, who is also found in the bottom of the trail of the house screen. I’m not talking about games here.

Confused, games does not mean that sharing or lending full games with other systems. It is for when you want to play a multiplayer game using more than one switch 2 to play. You can use to play Mario Kart with additional switch 2s all additional sdwing in the same trace, for example, all of a copy of the game. If you had a Nintendo DS, it’s very similar to DS Download the game.

The two features to share you walk below, and in the above video, are different. They’re two ways to share games between more than one switch 2 without buying many copies of the game. We started.

Method 1: Upload the game on another switch 2

The first method we will load a game on a second switch 2 separate 2. Talk the results will be able to play the game from himself, but not at the same time. Even the files to save you from the two as long as each system is capable of connecting to the internet. That way, every system will do it up to date with the progress made by another.

To start, I’ll have to have your Nintendo sign in both SWIT 2. On the secondary device (that without the game) go to the virtual game cards, and select your account. Here you will be all the games attached to this account, and any game with an empty carcillate icon has not been loaded on this system. Select the game you want to share and then load on this system.

So you will be asked to link the two switch 2s together if you haven’t done so. If this is the first time you do this, you can need to unlock your account from a original switch, as I had with my old Oled Swit (photo above).

Select “Link on Primary Console” and wait for you. Make sure both of them are on the same Wi-Fi network.

Above the secondary console, you will see that they are now successfully together. You can then proceed to load on this system. Once loaded, the game will come automatically to download.

To prevent sharing, go to virtual game cards on the primary system, choose the game, and load on this system. This remove access to the secondary system.

Method 2: Loan to a family member

Now we look at the second way to share your game library. This is called borrowed to a familiar group member and works the book of library book. But don’t be confused by the wording – we don’t talk about the family online. This is a method to use if you do not want your Nintendo personal account connected to multiple switch 2 conschettes.

The first thing you will need to do is add the other member, in this case my signs account, to your family group using accounts.nintendo.com/family. I am After following the instructions and add the new member, return to the switch 2. Go to the Route game, choose the game, then taken to a family group member.

The switch 2 will mention this loans games can only go up to 14 days at a time, before returning (as a books of library). Choose Select a user to lend, then you will have to bring two swit 2s close to each other.

On the secondary device, hit continue. Go to the virtual game cards and select loan. Once transferred, the game begins to download.

On the primary switch 2, you may not play this game while loaned. You can also see which of your members of your family group have which games.

It is worth noting that every member can only lend a game at a time. If you want your game again, select the game and then choose to go up by the family group member. The secondary device does not get a notice. Once is charged, the secondary sodit 2 will be automatically to play the game.

You have two ways to share games in many 2S switch. I hope this helps you understand which option will work best for your game setup.
