At the time of writing, Netflix still doesn’t have an official app on Nintendo Switch. But take a detour, and you can still access the catalog of the largest video streaming service on the planet. You can read exactly how it works in this article.

Nintendo wouldn’t be Nintendo if there wasn’t some weird limitation or boundary somewhere. There’s something to be said for that: The company has a clear philosophy, play games firstand therefore not very interested in environmental issues. This is why we encounter very few apps from streaming services on Nintendo platforms.

The Netflix app was available on the Wii U and 3DS, but on Nintendo Switch you have to be content with apps like YouTube and comics. Also, there is very little software that is not a game; Although Pokémon fans are of course familiar with the Home app.

But if you want to watch Netflix on your Nintendo Switch, none of that matters. Fortunately, it is possible, but you have to jump through some hoops. You can use the service through the game console’s built-in browser.

Just like on PlayStation 5, this browser is hidden, so you also need to know where it is or how to activate it. We’ll help you step by step in the step-by-step plan below.

What should you consider?

Keep in mind that things can go wrong as this is not an official way to visit Netflix. Do this only at your own risk. In the worst-case scenario, a malicious person could steal your login information, but we haven’t read anything about it at the time of this writing.
