With the latest console system update, Nintendo Switch owners have noted that it is not possible to play the same digital game online in two systems simultaneously.
Earlier, the designated switch as a primary console can load the digital game and log in with another switch with the owner of the game.
Now, due to the introduction of Nintendo’s new virtual game cards system, it has been closed “peel” that treats digital games as they are physical cartridges.
However, users can play the same copy of the digital game while playing offline. It is possible if you turn on the option of a new online license (buried in your profile user settings), which lets you play the digital game even if you don’t have a virtual game card – unless it’s being played anywhere else or, importantly, as long as it is played somewhere else.
“If this option is active, the purchased digital software will be able to play while the console is connected to the Internet, even when the software’s virtual game card is not full of console,” the Nintendo describing states in the online license setting.
“However, when using an online license, only the user signed the Nintendo Account that was used to buy the software, it would be able to play, it would not be able to play for other users on the console. Your virtual game cards can be used to play software, regardless of this setting. The game card cannot be used under the title of a software.
Uruguay has tested it for himself, and has confirmed that this system is now present.
For example, if the console A shares a virtual game card with console B, when both consoles are online, only console B can access the game. However, with changing the option of online licenses, if the console B game offline plays, the console A is unable to say whether the game is being played and will still be allowed to reach it.
While reacting to changes, fans Receptor There is a mixed answer. One user wrote, “So the Virtual Game Card is a downward grade.”
“An important down grade,” another wrote. “My wife and my wife played hundreds of hours splatoon 3 and crossed the animals with the same digital purchase.”
“You can play online during game sharing on PS and Xbox,” a third noted.
Today’s switch system update is another new feature game share, which will eliminate this change to some extent – but only for selected games on switch 2.
The game share lets you play support software with the owner of the nearby switch 2, including on the switch 1. But the game will be supported on the basis of every game-and it will require switch 2. Therefore, it will not help anyone to continue sharing splashes 3 or animal crossing on switch 1.
Switch 2 is now in just one month since the launch – although someone has already defeated the new version of the breath of the Wild in the demo event. Fans have also discovered that many third -party physical switch 2 games do not really have a game on the card, and will still need to be downloaded.
