With Nintendo, Microsoft and Playstation each offering their own online service, it’s becoming more and more complicated for heavy gamers to fully enjoy their consoles. Nintendo has planned ahead and is allowing you to share your Nintendo Switch Online subscription with up to 8 Nintendo accounts with its family offer. So you can play and benefit from your Nintendo Switch Online subscription on 8 screens, thus splitting the costs in 8.

We explain how!

Nintendo Switch Services Pricing

Nintendo offers two types of subscriptions:

  • Individual subscription: you will of course only be alone on this subscription. The rates are degressive the longer the duration of your subscription:
    • 3,99€ / month
    • 7,99€ / quarter
    • 19,99€ / year
  • Family subscription: you can include up to 8 accounts in this subscription for a single fee of 24,99€/year.

For both subscriptions, the services are strictly the same:

  • Online Gaming: Enjoy competitive or cooperative multiplayer gaming experiences with your friends around the world with compatible Nintendo Switch titles like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or Splatoon 2
  • NES and Super NES – Nintendo Switch Online: Enjoy a constantly expanding catalog of classic NES and Super NES games. Not only will you be able to play it whenever and wherever you want, but you’ll also enjoy new online features!
  • Backup Data Cloud: Automatically and securely store your backup data online for easy access later. This way you can simply recover your saves if you lose your Nintendo Switch system or use a new one, for example.

On how many devices can I use the same Switch Family subscription?

  • Individual subscription: everything is in the title, this subscription is for you and you alone.
  • Family subscription: the family account allows you to have up to 8 Nintendo accounts , grouped into a single family group.

Actions to take to share your account

To benefit from the family account:

  • Log in to the Nintendo account of the family group administrator
  • To access the account settings, click on “Nintendo Account” at the top left
  • Then click on “Family Group“.
  • Finally, select a member to add them.
  • This will send an invitation to the co-subscriber, who will only have to accept it to join the group.

That’s it! Now you know how to share your Nintendo Switch Online account!

How much can I save with a shared account?

If you share the service with 7 people on the Family package, you will be 8 people each to be able to play on your console. This represents less than 1€ per person per month and above all represents a saving of 42€ per year compared to the individual offer paid monthly.
