Tencent recently announced that the Nintendo Switch eShop and all other online services for the Nintendo Switch will be suspended in China throughout the first half of 2026.
Tencent Holdings Ltd. distributes the Switch in mainland China after Nintendo partnered with them in 2019 to bring the hybrid handheld to the Chinese market
Per the announcement, the Chinese eShop will stop offering games on March 31, 2026, and all other online services for the system- including code redemption and downloads- will be shut down on May 15, 2026.
This will only affect those customers who have purchased the offical Chinese version of the Switch, and not those who obtained one from a different region.
As the Switch is region-free, many in China have chosen to import systems from elsewhere so that they can connect with Switches worldwide and gain access to a larger array of games than the selection available on the Chinese version.
