How to sign up for the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience

You need to register starting on Jan. 17 at 2pm CT on the official Nintendo Switch 2 Experience website. You have until Jan. 26 at 11:59 local time for each event location to sign up. There’s no need to rush to sign up, because it’s a free-to-enter and randomly selected drawing event.

This means you’re signing up for a chance of being selected to participate, which doesn’t guarantee you’ll receive a ticket for the event. Signing up sooner than others doesn’t increase your chances of being selected, either.

You can only enter one drawing across all days and register for up to six tickets based on how many Nintendo accounts you have linked to your Nintendo Account Family group. They all must attend the same event.

After the drawing is done, the selected people will receive an email letting them know they were one of the lucky ones to participate in the Nintendo Switch 2 experience.
