Nintendo Discontinues Switch Game Vouchers Program in Major Policy Shift

2025-07-10 23:41:56

In a move that's disappointing many loyal fans, Nintendo has confirmed it will terminate its Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers program by January 30, 2026. This decision comes less than a year after the company discontinued its My Nintendo Gold Points system, removing another value-added service for Switch owners globally.

Latest Game Information

The Game Vouchers program, available exclusively to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, allowed players to purchase two first-party Nintendo games at a discounted rate. For $100, users could obtain vouchers redeemable for any two titles from a curated selection, offering savings up to $20 per bundle. While existing vouchers will remain valid until expiration, no new purchases will be possible after the cutoff date.

Latest Game Information

Nintendo has clarified several key details about the program's wind-down:

  • The catalog of eligible games will continue expanding through 2026
  • All active vouchers maintain their standard 12-month validity period
  • Final redemptions will be accepted until January 2027
  • No compatibility with upcoming Switch 2 titles is planned

This policy change has sparked significant debate within the gaming community. Many players express frustration at losing one of Nintendo's few discount programs, while others note the company's relative stability compared to recent mass layoffs at Western studios. Nintendo has not announced any replacement program, leaving questions about future discount options for loyal customers.
