Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers: A Membership-Linked Savings Program Coming to an End
Nintendo Switch Online members have enjoyed the benefits of the Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers program, which offered a guaranteed discount on select first-party Nintendo Switch games. However, Nintendo recently announced that this program will end on January 30, 2026.
With the Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers, members could purchase digital tickets called Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers. Each voucher could be redeemed for one game from the catalog, which includes major titles like Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, and more. The vouchers required an active paid Nintendo Switch Online membership to purchase and redeem.
The vouchers offered a significant saving. By paying $99.99 for a Game Voucher bundle, members could download two eligible Nintendo first-party games, normally priced at about $59.99 each, for a total of $120. Using a voucher effectively gave you $20 off on two games ($10 savings per game).
However, after January 30, 2026, no new vouchers will be sold. Vouchers purchased before then can still be used for one year.
For those looking to save money on Switch games, another option is to use discounted Nintendo eShop gift cards bought from third-party retailers. These can offer 8-14% off on funds added to your account, usable on any game or downloadable content.
In the meantime, here are some of the eligible games for Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers: "Xenoblade ChroniclesTM X: Definitive Edition", "Donkey Kong CountryTM Returns HD", "Mario & LuigiTM: Brothership", "Super Mario PartyTM Jamboree", "The Legend of ZeldaTM: Echoes of Wisdom", "The Legend of ZeldaTM: Tears of the Kingdom", "PokémonTM Scarlet", and "PokémonTM Violet".
To view all eligible games, visit the provided link. Remember, the savings amount depends on the chosen game, and Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers must not expire before the game's launch date for pre-orders.
To purchase Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers, visit the link provided. Keep in mind that a Nintendo Switch Online membership and Nintendo Account are required for online features. Additionally, Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers cannot be combined with other sale, discount, or promotional offers unless specified.
As the Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers program comes to an end, members will need to consider alternative methods for saving money on Switch games. For now, using discounted eShop cards remains a viable option for digital savings.
