Nintendo is getting rid of its money-saving Game Vouchers program

Nintendo games famously don’t tend to go down in price all that much, but original Switch owners were able to save money on eligible first-party-published titles by taking advantage of the company’s Switch Game Voucher program.But that won’t be the case for much longer, with Nintendo today announcing that the vouchers in question will no longer be sold after January 30 2026.Currently, Game Vouchers can be purchased as a pair for $99.98, which you then redeem on select digital titles, from Switch classics like and , to more recent additions to the console’s library, including 2024’s and .This year’s , which was the last significant first-party Switch release before the Switch 2 arrived in June, is also in the catalog.

Game Vouchers were introduced in 2019, and all of the above games are priced at $60, so you’re saving just over $20 when you use them to buy two.Nintendo chose not to extend Game Vouchers to Switch 2-exclusive games, adding insult to the injury of price increases to both games and hardware in this new handheld generation.Vouchers purchased before January 30 will remain valid for one year.The company also said that new games will continue to be added to the catalog.Presumably this means that games such as , which is coming to Switch and Switch 2 later this year, have a good chance of ending up there.
