Nintendo Account: Google and Apple sign-in ends on 26 January 2027
Nintendo is ending the link between Google and Apple accounts and Nintendo Accounts. After that, sign-in only works with email, sign-in ID or passkey.
If you sign in to your Nintendo Account with Google or Apple, you will need to switch. According to a Nintendo support article reported by Nintendo Life, this option ends on 26 January 2027. Nintendo says the date may change depending on the progress of the system change.
What changes
- You can no longer sign in to a Nintendo Account with a Google or Apple account
- Google or Apple accounts can no longer be linked
- New Nintendo Accounts can no longer be created via Google or Apple
- The My Nintendo mission for linking a Google account is discontinued
After that, you sign in with your email address or sign-in ID and password, or with a passkey. If you are already signed in on a device, Nintendo says you may not need to sign in again. If you currently only sign in via Google or Apple, set up a password or passkey in good time.
The support article Nintendo Life refers to is on Nintendo’s Australian site. Nintendo has not separately confirmed whether the date also applies to Germany.
