The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct has unveiled an exciting new GameShare feature, allowing players to enjoy compatible games with friends, even if one of you hasn’t purchased it. This innovative feature will be available on all Switch 2 consoles starting June 5, 2025. Curious about how it works? Keep reading to learn more about Nintendo GameShare.
In the latest Nintendo Direct, it was confirmed that GameShare lets you invite friends to play the same game locally on individual devices. This means players can enjoy the game temporarily, even if only one person has bought it. Additionally, GameShare integrates with GameChat, enabling online play as well.

With the new GameShare feature on the Nintendo Switch 2, you’ll forget the days of playing the same game on just one device with two Joy-Cons.
However, GameShare will only be available for select new Nintendo Switch 2 titles, including Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Super Mario 3D World, Super Mario Odyssey, Big Brain Academy, and Clubhouse Games 51 World Classics.
Make sure to pre-order your Nintendo Switch 2 ahead of its release on June 5, 2025. What do you think of this new feature? Let us know in the comments below!
