Nintendo Ends Game Vouchers in 2026

Discontinuation of Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers by 2026; Remaining Valid Until ’27, New Titles Still Added to Switch 1 Catalog

Nintendo has announced that the Nintendo Switch Game Voucher program will be discontinued, with sales ceasing on January 30, 2026. This program allowed Nintendo Switch Online subscribers to purchase two digital games at a reduced price. Vouchers bought before this deadline will remain valid for 12 months from their purchase date. For example, a voucher purchased on the final sale day can be redeemed until January 30, 2027. It is important to note that these vouchers will not be extended to the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 and cannot be used for its exclusive games. Despite the discontinuation of sales, Nintendo will continue to add new titles to the eligible game catalog for the Switch 1 program until its final end. This ensures players will still have a variety of games to choose from during the remaining redemption period. Potential additions to the eligible list include Switch 1 versions of upcoming 2026 titles such as Rhythm Heaven Groove and Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, as well as Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Pokémon Legends: ZA, which are expected later this year.
