Nintendo Ditches Google & Apple Logins

Nintendo is changing how users access their accounts, with a significant shift away from social media logins. Beginning January 26, 2027, the company will no longer support sign-ins through Google or Apple accounts for Nintendo accounts. This upcoming change necessitates that users establish a traditional password or a more secure passkey for their accounts.

Users are encouraged to make this transition promptly to avoid any disruption in accessing their gaming services. The exact cessation of these login methods depends on system updates. Furthermore, Nintendo is ending the My Nintendo Platinum Points mission that previously awarded points for linking a Google account, effectively removing another incentive for that connection.
