Topic: just got the switch oled today

how do i make it download other games when i am playing a game?

I think if the game you are playing has any online functionality then it won’t download.

@PapaGodzilla The Switch cannot download and play games at the same time. The console doesn't allow it. However, the Switch will download games in sleep mode. So, leave it in sleep mode over night or, when you're done playing.

@WoomyNNYes It can download games while playing other games, but it depends on the game being played. If the game has online features, even if you're currently offline, then it won't download games.

@Joeynator3000 Really!? Interesting. I'll take your word for it. So far, I can only confirm that the Switch always stops a game download or update if I open a game. Granted, I'm often playing online games.

@WoomyNNYes Yeah, I don't know why it doesn't download even if you're offline or whatever, it's annoying. lol
