Ever wondered how you can double the fun on your Nintendo Switch by adding another player? Well, you’re in the right place to find out!

Let’s dive into how you can set up your Nintendo Switch for two-player action, so you and a friend can jump into the fun together.

Setting Up Two Players on Nintendo Switch

First things first, you’ll need to make sure you have a game that supports two-player mode. Once you’ve got that sorted, it’s time to pair your controllers with your Nintendo Switch console. If you’re using Joy-Con controllers, you can use them as two separate controllers for two players!

Simply detach the Joy-Con controllers from the sides of your Switch, and voila, you’ve got two controllers. Just select the game you want to play, follow the on-screen prompts to set up the second player, and you’re all set for some co-op or competitive fun!
