Nintendo Switch Game Voucher Service Ending Soon
▼ Summary
– Nintendo is discontinuing its Switch Game Voucher service on January 30, 2026, as announced by the company.
– The vouchers, available to Nintendo Switch Online members, allow users to purchase two games at a discounted price compared to buying them individually.
– Currently, members can buy two vouchers for £84.00, saving £35.98 on games like Zelda titles that retail for £59.99 each.
– Vouchers purchased before January 30, 2026, will remain valid for 12 months, and new Switch titles will be added to the catalogue throughout 2026.
– Nintendo has not confirmed if a similar voucher service will be introduced for Switch 2 games in the future.
Nintendo has confirmed the upcoming discontinuation of its Switch Game Voucher program, leaving fans with limited time to take advantage of the popular discount service. The company announced that the offer will no longer be available for purchase after January 30, 2026, marking the end of a cost-saving option that has benefited Nintendo Switch Online members since its introduction.
The Switch Game Voucher system allowed subscribers to buy two vouchers for £84, which could then be redeemed for select full-priced games. This provided significant savings compared to purchasing titles individually, for example, buying The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom separately would cost £119.98, while using vouchers reduced the total to just £84. However, the vouchers cannot be applied to upcoming Switch 2 releases, limiting their future usefulness.
While the service will soon be unavailable for new purchases, Nintendo clarified that any vouchers bought before the cutoff date will remain valid for 12 months. Additionally, the company plans to keep adding eligible Switch titles to the voucher catalog throughout 2026, ensuring users can still maximize their remaining vouchers.
The decision has sparked disappointment among fans, with many expressing frustration on social media. Some speculate that Nintendo may introduce a replacement program for the Switch 2, though no official announcements have been made.
For those looking to make the most of the remaining time, Nintendo Switch Online members can still access the voucher service alongside other subscription perks, including a growing library of classic games from platforms like SNES, Game Boy, and Nintendo 64. With the deadline approaching, players eager to save on first-party titles should act soon before the opportunity disappears.
More details about the voucher program’s discontinuation can be found on Nintendo’s official channels.
