Nintendo Switch Online (Japanese: Nintendo Switch Online) is a service run by Nintendo that allows users to be matched up with other players and play games with each other, first launched on September 19, 2018. It is used by games for the Nintendo Switch family of systems and the Nintendo Switch 2. A successor to the Nintendo Network service, it is the first service by Nintendo that requires the user to pay a subscription fee in order to allow players to use online functionality with games, such as online multiplayer and user created content. The service also offers a selection of classic games to play, along with a selection of other benefits.

On October 25, 2021, the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack launched. This allows access to Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis and Game Boy Advance games, as well as access to the DLC for Animal Crossing: New Horizons for an additional fee. The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass and Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion DLC were added later on.

On June 5, 2025, the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade packs of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom were added to the Expansion Pack, as well as access to select Nintendo GameCube games for Nintendo Switch 2 players.

Features

Friend Codes

Main article: Friend Code

The Nintendo Switch Online service allocates a Friend Code to every user on the service, generated during the creation of the account. It is used to identify other players on online play along, albeit is not the only method unlike predecessors. This feature was also used for the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and on the Nintendo 3DS's online connectivity.

Nintendo Classics

Main article: Nintendo Classics

Launched on September 19, 2018 alongside the Nintendo Switch Online service, Nintendo Classics is a suite of apps that allows players to play a selection of classic Nintendo games. An active Nintendo Switch Online subscription is necessary to play NES, Super NES, and Game Boy games, while the Expansion Pack is required to play Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo GameCube, and Virtual Boy games.

Nintendo Music

Main article: Nintendo Music

Launched on October 30, 2024, Nintendo Music is a music streaming app for Android and iOS that features songs from select Nintendo games. An active Nintendo Switch Online subscription is necessary to use it.

Missions & Rewards

Missions & Rewards were added on March 1st, 2022 within the Nintendo Switch Online app on the Nintendo Switch's HOME Menu. This feature gave Nintendo Switch Online subscribers a new method of earning Platinum Points (which previously could only be earned on the My Nintendo website) by completing missions, but also included a Rewards page where Platinum Points could be redeemed for exclusive icon elements for their Nintendo Switch profile. Rewards are only available for a limited-time distribution period; during this period, rewards will rotate on a weekly schedule. Previously available icon elements may become available once again at a later date.

There are three types of icon elements:

• Character elements, which cost 10. Certain character elements come with a set background that cannot be changed, which prevents them from being used alongside background elements as well as the default Nintendo Switch background colors.
• Background elements, which cost 5. Character elements appear in front of background elements. Background elements cannot be used without a character element.
• Frame elements, which cost 5. Frame elements surround background and character elements. A selection of solid color frames are available by default and can be used alongside any icon element that was purchased with Platinum Points.

Icon elements cannot be used alongside other elements from different games. For example, a Pokémon Scarlet and Violet character element cannot be used together with a Detective Pikachu Returns background element. Icon elements can be redeemed in any region, with the exception of the MOTHER3 icon element set that was distributed from March 7, 2024 to March 13, 2024, which could only be redeemed by accounts that had their region set to Japan during the distribution period. Additionally, a new category of icon element called Play & Redeem was introduced on March 4, 2024, first used for the Super Mario World icon element set. Play & Redeem icon element sets require the user to play the corresponding software, sometimes on multiple days, in order to be eligible to redeem the icon elements.
