Can multiple users play the same game on Switch?

Yes, multiple users can play the same game on a Nintendo Switch, but how it works depends on if it's physical or digital and if they're on the same or different consoles; digital games require designating a "primary" Switch for sharing, while physical games just need the cartridge, allowing easy sharing or simultaneous play by swapping. On the same console, different user profiles access the same game (digital or physical), but for digital, the purchaser sets the primary console so others can play; for different consoles, setting up primary/secondary consoles allows sharing digital games across household users, while physical games are simpler.
