Nintendo will stop Google and Apple sign-ins for Nintendo Accounts on 26 January 2027, according to an official notice reported by Nintendo Life.
Nintendo has announced it will discontinue Google and Apple sign-ins for Nintendo Accounts on 26 January 2027, according to an official notice reported by Nintendo Life.
Nintendo says the exact end time “may be delayed depending on the progress of the system change work”. Once the date arrives, Google and Apple accounts can’t be linked to a Nintendo Account any more.
What changes
- You won’t be able to sign in to a Nintendo Account with a Google or Apple account.
- You won’t be able to create a new Nintendo Account using Google or Apple.
- The My Nintendo Platinum Points mission that rewarded linking a Google account is also being discontinued.
How you’ll sign in instead
If the sign-in page appears, you’ll need to use the email address or sign-in ID for your Nintendo Account along with your password, or a Passkey.
Nintendo also says that “if you are already logged into your Nintendo Account on a device, you may not have to sign in again”.
Nintendo has apologised to anyone affected: “We apologise for any inconvenience to those who used a Google or Apple account to sign in to their Nintendo Account.”
