    Game Doesn’t Recognise the Nintendo Switch Online Membership

    Description:

    • You have an active Nintendo Switch Online membership, but a game is prompting you to purchase a membership when you try to use an online feature.
    • You return to a game directly after purchasing a Nintendo Switch Online membership, but the game still prompts you to purchase a membership to use the online features.

    Complete These Steps:

    1. Power the Nintendo Switch console down completely. (Putting the console into sleep mode isn't sufficient - you will need to completely shut down and restart it.)
    2. Turn the console back on and launch the game from the HOME Menu.
    3. When prompted to choose a user, select a user linked to a Nintendo Account with an active Nintendo Switch Online membership.
    4. Try accessing the online feature again. The game should now recognise your active membership and allow you to proceed.
