Nintendo Switch owners with the console’s latest system update have noted that it is no longer possible to play the same digital game online across two systems simultaneously.

Previously, a Switch designated as a primary console could load up a digital game and play online alongside the owner of that game logged in via a second Switch.

TLDR: You could share bread as long as they are in the same store, now you have to either lend your bread priviledges to a friend or make them buy it for themselves.

actually forget this tldr, no one will understand it, not even myself, I don’t own a switch.

    Ah I feel two ways about this. Yeah it’s annoying not being able to play Splatoon with my son anymore. But I am super happy with being able to share my games with both my kids now (although again, a bit annoyed with the ability to only share one at a time).

    I’m also less annoyed about this sine they announced the Switch 2. With any luck, most of the games I want to play simultaniously will receive updates to work with game share. In the meantime, we’ll keep playing Nintedoland as a family. Ah the memories.
