 Today I'm going to show you how to get free games on your Nintendo Switch. Yes, there's actually quite a vast library of absolutely free content, whether you're a brand new Switch owner or someone who's on one for a while trying to save a buck or two and you just want to know what to play next because you're finished all of your games and you really aren't sure how to find everything. You see, we did a similar guide to this back in 2022 but the problem is that Nintendo removed a lot of the quick and dirty ways to get to all of this free content so I'm going to show you the only viable no matter what year we're in ways to get this free content and of course we first begin by going to the Nintendo Switch eShop and remember, remember everything we do is going to be in this eShop to get your free games. We could talk about one other method that actually works but you know what? Because Nintendo keeps changing the quick and dirty methods, I don't really want to focus on that. Alright, so let's get into this method right now and open up the eShop so you will have to have an account already made, a Nintendo account already made. In order to access the eShop you can create Nintendo accounts online. This isn't a guide on how to set up your Switch and create accounts. This presumes you already have a Nintendo account created. If not, there is a little guide that comes with your Switch to show you how to do it. Now once you're in here, there's really a few places we can go to find some free games to play. The first one that we want to mention is a more obvious one and that's by going to the search and browse. Okay, we have two things we're going to do here. First off, we're going to go search by price range and then we're going to go down all the way down. They bury this way at the bottom. There's your free games and you can go over here to view more to see all of them. Now we have a hundred and six free games here and there's a lot of good stuff. I mean Fortnite's obviously one of the most popular games you guys know about that, Fall Guys. We got Rocket League in here, Pac-Man 99, Overwatch 2, Just Dance, Tetris 99, Super Kirby Clash is really fun, etc. There's a whole lot of good games, but because there's a hundred and nine of them, maybe it's hard for you to find exactly what you want. Maybe you know what kind of genres you're into. Well, you can go over here and with the price range at free, you can change it to a different genre. So let's say you're really into all racing games. You want to see if there's any free racing games you can play. So let's go ahead and sort to racing games and there you go. Rocket League, Ash Fault, Mario Kart Live, Home Circuit, which technically requires a purchase by the way. So it's a little tricky that this is in the free software area because it's free to download but without buying Mario Kart Live. Like it's useless, but anyway it's Chocobo, GP Light, etc. And they have this for everything. So you see there's five games in there. Let's say you want to go play some arcadey games. We'll select that and you could find some more arcadey style games. Rocket League fits in multiple categories. You've got Pac-Man 99 sitting there, Brawlhalla, Namco Museum, Super Animal Royale, etc. So it's just kind of a neat way to find free games to play on your Switcher with a hundred and nine titles. That's a lot of content for you to enjoy. Now, what we can do as well is go back to where we were previously and instead of searching my price range, we can also go to games with demos. Now, while these are not obviously free to play games, they are free to try. And as you see, they're 645. And like before, you can sort it by genre, price, etc. But yeah, all these games will have demos. So let's scroll down and find maybe a game like Harvestella. Let's say you're wondering if Harvestella is for you. It is a Switch exclusive. You can go right on in here. And when it opens up, you can go over to here and instead of proceed to purchase, go down one spot to download demo. And then it'll download a demo of the game for you to play. This is a great way to try games before you buy them. Or you know, if you just are really budget conscious, it gives you just a way to a way to get some gameplay out of a bunch of different games. Now, there's one other thing we need to talk about, because this is something that is exclusive to Nintendo Switch Online members. And again, this isn't a guide on how to join Nintendo Switch Online, but it is nice to know. And that is this Nintendo Switch Online section right here. Now what Nintendo likes to do once in a while are these things called game trials. So with a Nintendo Switch Online subscription only costing just 20 bucks per year for the basic, you get access to game trials. And Nintendo doesn't announce them all the time ahead of time enough sometimes they just shadow drop them on social media. So I suggest probably checking out this section once per, I don't know, once per week or something like that, because sometimes they'll give you access to an entire game like say access to, I don't know, all those Splatoon three and they'll give you like a whole free weekend. Yeah, you get this expansion impact content. Also, we got to know you get access the N64 and Genesis are tied to the top tier, but then we have the NES and SNES as well. Again, these are more free games that you can absolutely enjoy. But yeah, there'll be game trials listed in there as well. There's no current game trials running right now as you'll see here. There's no game trials. It'll be in this list when there are game trials. So we don't have any game trials right now. So pretty much in here, you're just going to find your your NES Super Nintendo and if you have to have the bigger package, your N64 and Genesis games that you can play for free as well. Now one last thing I know I said that was it, but you can actually share games with friends. So all you need to do is have a friend basically add their account to your account. So right now on this which you see there's only my account, but you can go down here into settings, you can go down to the users, and you can go add a user. Now, you are going to want to create a new user when you do this. I'll show you quick, create a new user to select anything you want. I don't know, let's say we got picked before coming out. This isn't going to matter because when you connect it to a Nintendo account, it's actually going to change everything. So let's just go who remembers the Wii? Let's just call this account Wii. Alright, so nothing matters now because this is the point we get to where you link a Nintendo account. For those who don't know, your Nintendo Switch account can be used across multiple switches as can your friends. So let's say your friend has a bunch of digital games because this is what we're talking about. Physical games are still, hey, ask a friend, borrow a physical game to you. But if someone has a huge digital library, a friend of yours, someone in school, a parent, whatever, you can have them link their Nintendo account on your system, and you will be able to access their entire digital library of games. Now, the thing about that, of course, is that you will have to play with their account, you won't be able to play with your account. Thankfully, a lot of games have multiple save files, you don't have to overwrite anyone's save data, but it does give you access to their games. The big thing is you can't play the same game at the same time. So let's say they have a digital copy of Breath of the Wild, you both can't play Breath of the Wild at the same time. But it is a way to share free games between everyone. Anyways, that is my updated guide for 2023 on how to download free games.
