How to Go on Google on Nintendo Switch

Last updated
Curious about surfing the web on your Nintendo Switch? You’re not alone! Many gamers wonder how they can use their Nintendo Switch to access Google and browse the internet.
Let’s dive into whether you can use Google on your Nintendo Switch and how to do it if it’s possible.
Can You Use Google on Nintendo Switch?
Yes, you can! While the Nintendo Switch doesn’t have an official internet browser app like you’d find on your smartphone or computer, there’s a workaround to access Google and other websites.
The secret lies in a hidden web browser designed for logging into WiFi networks that require a web-based login. We’re going to use this to our advantage to access Google.
Steps to Access Google on Nintendo Switch
First, from your Switch’s home screen, select ‘System Settings’ and then ‘Internet.’ Go ahead and choose ‘Internet Settings’ and connect your Switch to your WiFi network.
Once connected, you’ll look for a connection that requires you to sign in. You’ll be redirected to a sign-in page that’s essentially a web browser. Here’s the trick: Instead of signing in, you’ll use this page to go to Google. Just enter ‘google.com’ in the URL bar, and voila! You’re on Google using your Nintendo Switch.
