Frequently asked questions about Switch download codes
Where can I find the download code in the box?
The code is inside the box, printed on a card or an insert, sometimes protected by a scratch-off area. Keep the box: it serves as proof of purchase and contains the activation instructions.
How do I activate a game code on the Nintendo Switch?
On the console, open the Nintendo eShop, select “Redeem Code” from the left menu, enter the 16 characters of the code, and confirm. The download starts automatically, and the game appears on the home screen. A Nintendo account and an internet connection are required.
Can a Switch download code be used multiple times?
No: each code is for one-time use and is permanently linked to the Nintendo account that activates it. The game can then be downloaded as often as desired on the consoles associated with that account, but the code itself cannot be reused or resold.
Does a download code game work on Switch 2?
Yes, Nintendo Switch games are compatible with Switch 2, including digital versions, unless otherwise stated on the product page. Some titles also offer a dedicated Switch 2 edition.
