Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers Are Ending in 2026 – Don’t Miss Your Chance to Save!

Nintendo to End Switch Game Vouchers in 2026

Nintendo has announced that it will stop selling its popular Switch Game Vouchers starting in 2026. If you’re a Nintendo Switch Online member, you have until **January 30, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. PST** to grab these vouchers and make the most of the offer. Keep in mind, vouchers can be redeemed up to a year after purchase, so there’s some flexibility.

What Are Switch Game Vouchers?

The Game Voucher program has been a handy way for players to save money on Nintendo’s first-party games. For $100, you get two vouchers that you can redeem in the Nintendo eShop for a wide selection of titles. Since most new Nintendo Switch games retail at around $60 (and some, like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, even $70), these vouchers have been a solid deal for fans wanting to snag exclusives at a discount.

Nintendo rarely slashes prices on their first-party games, so when sales happen, they’re usually modest. For example, Super Mario Odyssey, an eight-year-old title, recently dropped from $60 to $40 — a rare bargain. Because of these infrequent sales, Game Vouchers have been a reliable way to save a bit on new releases.

When and Why Are Vouchers Being Discontinued?

Nintendo of Europe confirmed the end of the Game Vouchers program on Thursday, but also mentioned that new Switch titles will continue to be added to the voucher catalog throughout 2026. So, if you’re planning to use them, there’s still some time.

This move comes after Nintendo announced earlier this year that the vouchers wouldn’t work for Nintendo Switch 2 titles. Additionally, the company has discontinued its Gold Points program, another method players used to save on eShop purchases.

Nintendo Switch Online members should note the deadline to purchase vouchers is **January 30, 2026**. After that, no new vouchers will be sold, but existing vouchers can still be redeemed for up to a year.

Looking Ahead: What’s Next for Switch Games?

While the future of the Game Vouchers is clear, Nintendo’s lineup for 2025 still looks exciting. Upcoming titles include Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. The latter doesn’t have a confirmed release date yet, but both games will be available for the original Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
