The process of creating your own online lobby in Nintendo Switch Sports is very simple and a great way to ensure only players you invite to join your online games.

Here’s the step-by-step way to get things started.

  1. Start Nintendo Switch Sports.
  2. From the main menu select “Play With Friends.”
  3. Select whether you plan on playing by yourself or with another player on your console.
  4. Now choose the account you’d like to use for yourself.
  5. Next, choose “Make a New Room.”
  6. Select the number of players, password, and access to voice chat for your lobby.
  7. Choose “Okay” and once at the Member Reception screen friends can join your lobby.
  8. Once you’ve got a group of players ready to go then choose the sport of your choice and start playing!

One thing to keep in mind, those who want to join the lobby will need to be friends with your on their Nintendo Switch Consoles.

Another key thing to remember is that online play is only available on your console if it has a steady internet connection. If not, then you won’t be able to play with friends outside of your home.
