"This update doubles our cost on all games going forward."
"A workaround lets users play the same game offline without online play."
"With two kids, game sharing saved us a lot of money."
"The loophole allowing multiple Switch systems to share one copy has been closed."
The recent Virtual Game Card update for the Nintendo Switch has eliminated a loophole that allowed multiple consoles to access the same digital game for online play. Previously, users could share a single game's digital license across two Switch consoles, but with the new update, both consoles must now purchase their own copies for online functionality. A workaround has been discovered for offline play, but many users have voiced their frustration, citing increased costs for families with multiple consoles. Nintendo is set to introduce a GameShare feature with the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 in June.
