Nintendo's Switch 20.0.0 update, preparing for the June Switch 2 launch, introduces system transfers, GameShare, and virtual game cards. However, a significant limitation emerged: using virtual game cards prevents simultaneous online play on multiple Switches. This impacts features like sharing digital game licenses within families. While Nintendo suggests the original sharing method remains, users report this workaround is ineffective for online multiplayer. This change forces some users to repurchase games to maintain simultaneous online play, drawing criticism.
