Hello everyone,

I was wondering if I made a brand new account and shared this account with a friend. If I bought dlc on this account can we both use the dlc on our switches with different accounts?

@Adnanilyas21 Short answer, No. You can't share DLC. And you can't share an account like you're thinking, if I understand you.

The only way to share an account is to make one console the "primary" console, and the other a "secondary" console. The problem is, that setup is intended for one person, and only one console can play a at a time. You can't play both at the same time. Nintendo made that system in case someone has a regular Switch for home tv, and a Switch Lite for on-the-go. They can play a game on the tv, turn that off, and then continue the game on the Switch Lite.

In case you want to see Nintendo directions for having more than one console.

For clarification, it does work that way.
I have my friend's account on my switch as a secondary. If she's not online playing something, I can play the copy of LEGO World's she bought on the eShop, on my switch. In a different household.
