Nintendo Switch Online’s 12 month Family Membership is the multi-user tier of Nintendo’s online service for Switch and Switch 2, competing with single-user plans and the higher-priced Expansion Pack. It’s essentially the subscription that unlocks Nintendo’s online ecosystem across multiple accounts, so households can keep everyone covered without buying separate memberships.
Who is this family membership for?
It makes most sense if you have two or more people playing online, or if you want to share the benefits across different consoles in the same family group. Expect online play in supported games, cloud save backup for compatible titles, and access to classic game libraries included with the standard Nintendo Switch Online plan. As this is a digital key, you’ll redeem it on a Nintendo account rather than receiving anything physical.
- Covers up to 8 Nintendo Accounts under one family group
- 12 months access from activation date
