Nintendo imposes new limits on sharing for digital Switch games

As Nintendo noted on his official general questionnaire As recently last weekTwo users can play the same digital game purchases At the same timeAs long as the Nintendo Account that purchased the game was playing a secondary console (with an active internet connection).

But “Nintendo’s Normal Questionnaire Description” has been removed for how to play the same digital game with different Nintendo accounts at the same time at the same time Nintendo’s Switch Digital Game Sharing Current version of General Questionnaire. There is a link in its place A new page that has a Virtual Game Card system description. Although the new general questionnaire also discusses the online license feature to distribute sports “even if you do not have a virtual game card,” now there will be no discussion on how to access the same digital game on the two consoles. Simultaneously.

ARS’s own test confirms that trying to load the digital game while the second switch is actively running The same game The results in A “play suspended” error On a console. This is true even if a console has a virtual game card loaded for the game and even if the consoles use different Nintendo accounts of the same family group.

Players can play simultaneously Various Play on two different switch systems from the same digital library, but only if at least one of them is on a play -filled virtual game card.

Partial work

Players who want to play the same digital game purchased in multiple switch consoles simultaneously can still use partial work. Currently a switch console with a loaded virtual game card should be set on aircraft mode (or WiFi is disabled), and the user’s online license feature should be enabled for the actual buyer of the game. The first system will still be able to play this virtual game card offline, while the online license feature will allow the other system to play the same game at the same time.
