How many games can I have downloaded on my Switch?

You can download as many games as your storage allows, which depends on the console's internal memory (32GB/64GB) and any microSD card you add, ranging from a few large titles to hundreds of smaller indie games, with larger games like Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom taking significant space, so buying an SD card is almost essential for a large library.

Is there a limit to how many games you can download on Switch?

There's no hard limit on the number of digital games on a Switch, only on the storage space, which is easily expandable with a microSD card (up to 2TB). The total number of games depends entirely on their size, with large AAA titles taking up tens of gigabytes (e.g., 10-20+ GB), while indie games can be just a few hundred megabytes. You'll fit far more small indie games than big-budget titles, so a microSD card is essential for a large digital library.

Is it better to buy physical games or digital for Switch?

You should buy digital for convenience (instant access, no swapping) and sales, but physical for collecting, sharing/reselling, saving SD card space (especially for large games), and long-term ownership security; many gamers use a hybrid approach, getting big first-party titles physically and indies/sales digitally. Consider your habits: digital for pick-up-and-play, physical for immersive RPGs you'll play for weeks, and definitely physical for collector's editions.

Can two switches play the same downloaded game?

Yes, you can play the same digital game on two Switches, but not simultaneously with the same account, unless you use a specific workaround with one console offline; generally, you set one as primary (any user can play offline) and the other as secondary (only the account owner plays online), or use the "Virtual Game Card" system to load/eject a game between them, but this still prevents simultaneous play, as only one console can use the digital license at a time.

Are Nintendo Switch digital games tied to account or console?

Nintendo Switch digital games are primarily linked to your Nintendo Account, not the console, meaning you can redownload them on another Switch. However, for convenient offline play, a game gets "loaded" as a virtual game card onto a primary console, allowing any user on that specific console to play it. You can have up to two consoles loading virtual game cards, but other players on non-primary consoles need an internet connection and only the linked account can play.
