How to re-download games on Nintendo Switch

So even after uninstalling them, it’s possible for you to still install them back.

In other words, you’re free to re-download them to your console.

And its pretty easy to do.

You will see a list of all the games and content you have previously downloaded.

From there, find the game you want to re-download and hit the cloud icon.

Also, if you archived the game, its icon might still be available in the titles list.

So you might just hit it, and the download process will start.

For a more detailed guide, check it out below.

Simply pick the game icon and enjoy playing your favorite title once again.

Can you re-download DLCs on Nintendo Switch?

No, the Nintendo eShop games you purchased or downloaded do not expire.

For Nintendos eShop, purchases (including games) made on the eShop are generally considered final and non-refundable.

They do not typically permit the return or cancellation of digital content once the purchase has been made.

Also, refund policies can vary depending on the region.

So it varies widely depending on your geographic location and individual retailer policies.
