how to show what i am playing on the switch 2 on discord
You can’t natively show a Switch 2 game as your Discord activity the same way PC games do. The common workaround is to use a third-party status app on a computer, connect your Nintendo account, and have Discord read the game name from that setup.
How it usually works
- Install a Switch-to-Discord Rich Presence app on your Mac, Windows PC, or Linux machine.
- Sign in with your Nintendo account in the app.
- Link the account it uses for presence sharing, then select the game/status text you want shown.
- Keep Discord running on the same computer, and your profile should show the current game status.
Important limit
A lot of these tools were built around older Switch support, and one recent discussion says Switch 2 titles may not appear if the app’s supported game list is outdated. That means it may work for some games but not all, depending on the app you use and whether it has been updated.
Safer expectation
If your goal is just to tell friends what you are playing, Discord’s built-in status sharing can show what you’re doing on supported platforms, but it does not appear to offer a direct official Switch 2 integration in the sources I found. So the realistic answer is: possible with workarounds, not officially built in.
Quick note
Some tutorials mention using two accounts and friend-linking them for presence sharing, while others use a simpler “install app and choose game” flow; that difference depends on the specific tool.
