How can I refund a game purchased on the Nintendo Switch eShop?

By Emma Payne

A few minutes ago, I accidentally purchased a game on the Nintendo Switch eShop. I have not launched the game, so it still has 0 hours played.

How can I refund a digital game purchased on the Nintendo Switch eShop?

Nintendo does not offer refunds for games or DLC purchased on the eShop:

Refund Request for Downloaded Game or DLC (Wrong Game, Didn't Like Game, Accidental Purchase)

Situation:

Refund request for digital content purchased through a Nintendo Shop Channel. (For example, incorrect game or DLC was downloaded, content was purchased by accident, you didn't like the game.)

What to do:

  • We are unable to provide refunds or exchanges for mistaken purchases.
  • Please be sure to read the game descriptions and check out the screen shots available through the Nintendo eShop before making purchases.

Nintendo does not offer refunds. However, customer support may. Good luck.

You can get refunds for games by calling Nintendo Customer Support. I made an accidental purchase, and regained my funds.
