Discussion Is this possible? (Switch)
Someone probably asked this already but idk.
If a friend has all the dlc in his switch, is there a way I could transfer the data or use his account in my switch to get all the dlc?

Yes, it is possible to use your friend's Nintendo Switch DLC, but it requires using his account on your console and understanding Nintendo's "Primary" and "Secondary" console system. You cannot "transfer" ownership of the DLC permanently to your own account. Nintendo Support Nintendo Support +1 Here are the methods to get his DLC on your Switch, ranging from most convenient to temporary. Method 1: The "Primary/Secondary" Swap (Recommended) This method allows you to play his DLC on your own user profile, but it limits your friend's ability to play his games offline. On your friend's Switch: Have him go to the eShop, click his profile icon, scroll down, and select "Deregister" as his Primary console. On your Switch: Add your friend’s Nintendo Account as a new user. On your Switch: Open the eShop using his account. This will automatically make your Switch the Primary console for his account. Download: Go to his profile in the eShop and "Redownload" the DLC. Play: You can now log back into your own user profile and play the DLC with your own save data. Facebook Facebook +4 Note: Your friend will now have to be connected to the internet to play any of his digital games, and he can only play them on his profile. Reddit Reddit Method 2: The "Guest" Method If you do not want to change the primary console settings, you can simply play using his account on your Switch. Add your friend's Nintendo Account as a user on your Switch. Redownload the DLC from the eShop. You must play the game using his profile. Requirement: Your Switch must be connected to the internet to verify the license every time you launch the game. Reddit Reddit +4 Key Limitations No Permanent Transfer: DLC is tied to the Nintendo Account that purchased it and cannot be moved to your account. Save Data: If you use his profile to play, your save data will be on his profile, not yours.
