    Hi all,

    I've tried to search for the answer to this but can't get a straight answer.

    Just picked up a Switch Lite, myself and my wife are going to be sharing it.

    Am I right in thinking if one of us buys a digital download game, the other can play it on their profile without hassle?

    Likewise if I get a Switch Online subscription, can she play the NES/SNES games on her profile, or do we need to get a family membership?

    Cheers.

    Yep that's correct (same goes for a cart based game).

    You'll need to get a family membership.
