How to Play Multiplayer on Minecraft Nintendo Switch Offline
Playing Minecraft with friends is always more fun, and with the Nintendo Switch, you can enjoy multiplayer gaming even when you’re not connected to the internet. Whether you’re at a campsite, on a plane, or simply want to play offline, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to set up and enjoy offline multiplayer in Minecraft on the Nintendo Switch.
First, ensure that you have the correct version of Minecraft for the Nintendo Switch. The version you need is called “Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition.” This version supports local multiplayer, which means you can play with friends on the same console without an internet connection.
Step 1: Update Your System
Before you start, make sure your Nintendo Switch system is up to date. Go to the “System” menu, select “System Update,” and follow the on-screen instructions to install any available updates.
Step 2: Create or Join a World
To play offline multiplayer, you’ll need to create or join a world. From the home screen, select “Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition,” then choose “Singleplayer” to create a new world or “Multiplayer” to join an existing world.
Step 3: Set Up Local Multiplayer
When you create a new world or join an existing one, you’ll see a “Multiplayer” option. Select this option, and then choose “Local Multiplayer.” This will allow you to invite friends to join your world using their Switch systems.
Step 4: Invite Friends to Join
To invite friends to join your world, you’ll need to have their friend codes. You can find their friend codes by selecting their profile on the home screen and looking for the “Friend Code” option. Once you have their friend codes, you can enter them into the “Local Multiplayer” menu to invite them to join your world.
Step 5: Start Playing
Once your friends have joined your world, you can start playing Minecraft offline. Enjoy building, exploring, and surviving together without the need for an internet connection.
Additional Tips:
– To play split-screen, simply select the number of players you want to play with (up to four) from the “Local Multiplayer” menu.
– If you’re having trouble inviting friends, make sure they have the correct version of Minecraft for the Nintendo Switch and that their systems are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
– You can save your world at any time by pressing the “Home” button and selecting “Save.”
By following these steps, you’ll be able to enjoy offline multiplayer in Minecraft on the Nintendo Switch with your friends. Happy gaming!
