Can I Transfer a Digital Game or DLC to a Different Nintendo Account?

Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, Nintendo Switch - OLED Model

It's not possible to transfer digital purchases from one Nintendo Account to another. However, downloaded content isn’t limited to the Nintendo Account that made the purchase. When you load a virtual game card on a console, anyone that uses that console has access to that digital game or DLC.

Please make sure that you are logged in to the correct Nintendo Account when purchasing or redeeming a game or DLC.

For information about digital purchases, please see our Purchase and Subscription Terms.
