Nintendo will discontinue third-party account linking for Nintendo Accounts from late January 2027!
Nintendo has confirmed that the ability to link Google or Apple accounts for simplified sign-in to your Nintendo Account will end on January 26, 2027. After that date, users will no longer be able to sign in or create a new Nintendo Account using Google or Apple credentials. The related My Nintendo Platinum Points mission for linking a Google account will also be discontinued. The exact cut-off may shift slightly depending on system work progress.
Players already signed in on a device may continue without immediate re-authentication. When a new login is required, they must use their Nintendo Account email or Sign-In ID plus password, or a registered Passkey. Nintendo recommends setting these up in advance. The change applies across Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and associated services.
