Hello! I just had my brother re-download the Octo Expansion pass on our switch, it works on his account but I can't access any of it on mine. When I try to play it, I am prompted with the "Unplayable downloadable content" message and an option to either play and ignore the content or delete the downloadable content and then play. Does anyone have a solution? We both have Nintendo accounts in the same family btw.

That happened to me once I purchased the Age of Calamity DLC. Apparently to share it between all users on the switch you have to buy it with the primary account. Otherwise it’s only playable on the account you buy it with. I don’t think there’s a way to fix it unless you buy it again, unfortunately.

If you are responding to me in forums or a comment I would much appreciate it if you quoted or tagged me in your responses so I can see it and respond. Otherwise I usually can’t tell that you’ve replied. Thanks!

Oddly enough, I was able to use the dlc on my own account before I had a memory wipe on my switch.

@melonoctoling Other possible factors:

  • Its possible you had access to Octo Expansion via subscription to Nintendo Switch Online. Disregard if that's not the issue.
  • If you have more than one switch, maybe you're using a non-primary switch console, or your brother is no longer the primary account on the console you're using.
