Ever found yourself scratching your head, wondering how to log out of the Nintendo eShop on your Nintendo Switch? You’re not alone. It’s a common question among Switch users, and thankfully, it has a straightforward answer.

Let’s dive into how you can sign out of the Nintendo eShop on your Nintendo Switch, making room for different accounts or just ensuring your account stays secure.

Quick Steps to Log Out

Logging out of the Nintendo eShop on your Switch might not be as direct as logging out of an app on your smartphone, but it’s still pretty simple. Follow these steps, and you’ll be out in no time!

First, understand that to effectively log out, you’ll need to remove your Nintendo Account from the system. This action will sign you out of the eShop. Here’s how:

  • Go to System Settings on your Home menu.
  • Scroll down and select Users.
  • Choose the user profile linked with the eShop account you want to remove.
  • Scroll to the bottom and select “Remove User.”
  • Confirm by selecting “Remove” and then “Delete.”

Remember, doing this will delete all save data associated with that user account unless you have backed up your data to Nintendo’s cloud service (available with Nintendo Switch Online).
