With its portability and extensive list of popular games, the Nintendo Switch is an amazing entertainment device. Even in those moments when you want to relax but don’t necessarily want to play games, you have the option to watch videos or shows. All you have to do is download a compatible streaming service app for the Switch and pay a subscription fee if necessary. Fortunately, some streaming apps are completely free to use.
Unlike the PS5 and Xbox Series X, it doesn’t have a huge range of streaming apps. Currently Nintendo Switch supports Hulu, YouTube, Crunchyroll, Funimation, Pokémon TV and Twitch. It doesn’t support Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Amazon Prime Video, etc.
