How To Add And Delete Users On Switch 2

by

As an enthusiastic admirer of the Nintendo Switch 2, one aspect I appreciate immensely is its multi-profile feature, enabling a shared experience among family and friends. It allows us to each dive into our favorite games independently or even simultaneously. However, before you can join in the gaming fun with someone else, you’ll first need to invite them as a user on your console. And if the time comes when you wish to part ways with that profile on your Nintendo Switch 2, remember that manual removal is also required. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to add and remove users on your Switch 2.

How to add a user on Switch 2

To add a new user on your Switch 2, follow the instructions below.

  1. Select the Settings icon on your Switch 2 home screen.
  2. Select Users.
  3. Select Add User.

In this setup process, you have two options: either log in with a Nintendo Account or create a local account. Whichever path you choose, make sure to follow the subsequent guidelines, such as selecting an appealing avatar, nickname, and more, to complete the setup.

How to remove a user on Switch 2

To remove a user from your Switch 2, follow the instructions below.

  1. Select the Settings icon on your Switch 2 home screen.
  2. Select Users.
  3. Click the icon of the user you wish to remove.
  4. Scroll all the way to the bottom and select Delete User.

From now on, you’ll encounter a page that alerts you about the deletion of this user’s saved data stored in system memory and the unlinking of their Nintendo Account. Any software bought with this account will become inaccessible on the current system, meaning you won’t be able to play the user’s games using any other profiles once they are removed.

If all of that is okay with you, go ahead and choose Delete, then click Next to wrap things up.
