How to Redeem a Nintendo Switch Game Code

Bought a Nintendo Switch game code on TopGift? Your code is waiting in My account → Orders and on the order confirmation page. Redeeming it adds the game to your Nintendo Account and starts the download on your console.

Before You Start

  • Region. The code must match the region of your Nintendo Account.
  • Storage. Make sure your console has enough free space for the game.

On Your Console

  1. Open Nintendo eShop and select your user.
  2. Choose Redeem Code on the left.
  3. Enter the 16-character code and confirm.
  4. The game starts downloading and appears on your HOME Menu.

Online

  1. Go to ec.nintendo.com/redeem and sign in.
  2. Enter the code and confirm.
  3. The game downloads to the console that’s set as your primary console, when it’s connected to the internet.

Common Problems

  • Download doesn’t start. Open the game’s icon or find it in the eShop under Redownload.
  • DLC not working. Downloadable content requires the base game.
  • Region error. The code is for another region.
