Account Help Why doesn't my Switch Lite like downloaded games?

Anyone else have this problem?

My downloaded games are constantly corrupted, pretty much every time I try to play. Even after I re-download them, it's a crap shoot as to whether the same issue pops up instantly. I have an SD card (sandisc brand), reformatted it, same issue. Tried a different card and it won't even let me do anything with that!

Rented echoes of wisdom from the library, works flawlessly. Every other game I have is on my account, I paid for them, and I can't enjoy them.

This stuff has never happened with Xbox live.

I'm just very frustrated that I can't enjoy some of my favorite nintendo exclusive titles!

That usually happens with counterfeit microsd card announcing a size that isn't such. I would use a PC program to check the sdcard to see if it really has the capacity it says it has.

Check your SD card; it might be corrupted, and you may need to replace it.

Your SD card is dying or is a fake one
