What to do if Nintendo Switch Online is not working
- Check whether Nintendo Switch Online is in scheduled maintenance. Many games take servers down for updates, often on weekday mornings.
- Fully restart the game and the launcher or console, not just the match.
- Use a wired Ethernet connection if you can. Wi-Fi often causes lag and disconnects that look like server problems.
- Install any pending game or system updates. Nintendo Switch Online often blocks older versions from connecting.
- Verify or repair the game files in your launcher if the game crashes on start.
- If you're stuck in a login queue, leave it running. Re-joining usually sends you to the back of the queue.
Nintendo Switch Online outage FAQ
Is Nintendo Switch Online down for everyone, or just me?
Look at the status at the top of this page. We connect to nintendo.com directly from our servers, so if our check works but Nintendo Switch Online doesn't work for you, the problem is more likely your device, network or account. If our check fails, or reports have jumped in the last hour, Nintendo Switch Online is probably having a wider outage.
Why does this page say Nintendo Switch Online is up when it isn't working for me?
Our check confirms that nintendo.com is reachable and responding. An outage can still affect only part of Nintendo Switch Online, such as logging in, the mobile app or a single feature, or only some regions. That's why visitor reports matter: when many people report problems at once, we flag Nintendo Switch Online as having problems even if the website loads.
How often do you check Nintendo Switch Online?
We check Nintendo Switch Online automatically several times a day, and again whenever someone opens this page and our last check is more than a few minutes old.
How do I report a Nintendo Switch Online outage?
Use "Report a problem" on this page to tell us what isn't working. Reports are anonymous: we don't store your IP address, only a one-way code that stops the same person reporting many times, plus your country.
