Here’s What Happens When You Try To Redeem A Switch 2 Code On A Nintendo Switch

If you’re wondering what happens when you try to redeem a Nintendo Switch 2 download code on a Nintendo Switch, look no further.

An error message will appear when you try to redeem a Switch 2 download code on the Switch eShop, telling you to redeem it on a Nintendo Switch 2 instead:

“This is a Nintendo Switch 2 download code. It can be used in Nintendo eShop on a Nintendo Switch 2 console.”

This shouldn’t come as a surprise as you can’t play Nintendo Switch 2 content on Nintendo Switch.
