As a gaming enthusiast, I’ve found myself in a pickle when not everyone in my squad owns the latest game we all crave. It’s a bummer that either we shell out some cash or someone gets left behind. But with the Nintendo Switch 2’s GameShare feature, no one has to miss out! Here are the deets about this awesome GameShare on the Nintendo Switch 2, including a complete rundown of all compatible games.

How to set up GameShare

Initially, it’s essential for the person who has the game to locate the GameShare feature within the game itself, not on the Nintendo Switch main menu. Once this process begins, individuals who don’t possess the game can find the GameShare icon at the base of the home screen and join in. From there, you can decide whether the session is local or remote using GameChat.

To participate in nearby GameShare games, users just need to choose the ‘A Local User’ option. However, for distant GameShare sessions, joining is done via GameChat. Therefore, it’s essential that everyone prepares and sets up GameChat before either sending or receiving a game over long distances. Sending a game over long distances enables all participants to play together as long as the GameChat session remains active.

How to lend games to family group members

On the Nintendo Switch 2, you can share games with your “family group” members. To do this, visit the family page on the official Nintendo accounts website and add family group members. Once there, click on the Virtual Game Card icon from the home screen, pick a game, and opt for the “Lend to Family Group Member” feature. This allows you to temporarily share a game with another person for approximately two weeks (up to 14 days). After the due date is reached, the game will be returned automatically, but it can then be lent out again.

As a gamer, I can only check out one title from the library at a time and I’m allowed to lend up to three games to my friends. However, while a game is in someone else’s hands, I can’t play it myself – this isn’t like owning multiple copies of the same game. But here’s the good news: I always have the chance to reclaim the game before the due date if I so choose.
