So, how do you turn off your Nintendo Switch? Let’s dive into the simple steps you need to follow to safely turn off your console.
Quick and Easy Steps to Turn Off Your Nintendo Switch
Turning off your Nintendo Switch is as easy as pie! Just press and hold the power button located on the top-left of the console for about three seconds. A menu will appear on the screen with the option to ‘Power Options’; tap it, and then select ‘Turn Off’. Voilà! Your Switch is now off.
