My favorite game „Zelda“ has been updated recently. I can’t wait to try it out! But the question is, does Nintendo switch download in sleep mode?

Sleep Mode: What is it for the Nintendo Switch?

Background processes are running when your console is in sleep mode. Sleep mode is a low energy mode, that can be restarted by pressing one single button: the power button. It’s an equivalent of the rest mode on the PlayStation 5 or Xbox.

In sleep mode, background processes are running such as phone notifications, online server access and downloads from internet. Some of those tasks may even finish in sleep mode (unlike when your console is shut down) and will be ready to use immediately: for example you can get a notification from this list when your console wakes up.

Sleep mode is the best way to download games from Nintendo eShop. You don’t need to sit in front of your console, while it is downloading – do some nice things instead 🙂

Does Nintendo Switch download in sleep mode?

Yeah, it does!!!

Can I download games from the nintendo eshop, while sleeping?

Yes, you can!

How do I download games, while my Nintendo Switch console is sleeping?!

You need a stable internet connection. It would be perfect, if there are no other background tasks running on your Nintendo Switch.

In case of an unstable or broken internet connection, the download will fail and you’ll have to restart it manually.

Nintendo eShop downloads while sleeping: How do I do that?

Keep in mind, that downloading games from nintendo eshop is still not possible while being offline.

If you want to use the online features, you have to have a connection:

The first time you open the Nintendo eShop app on your Nintendo Switch while being in sleep mode, it will automatically download all required files. After that, you can save some time and just pick up the games from the nintendo eshop’s download queue list.

Can I download Nintendo Switch games while sleeping, if my console is activated?

Yes, you can. You need to have an active internet connection for that.

You also need a nintendo account with access to the eshop store and enough money to buy your desired game.

How do I download games from the Nintendo eShop on my Nintendo Switch?

There are several ways to download games from the Nintendo eShop on your Nintendo Switch.

You can use an USB drive, microSD card or playing it straight off the hard disc of your console – either in docked mode with a TV connection or undocked (wireless) without any TV connection.

What’s better? Downloading games from Nintendo eshop while sleeping or playing it later?

Downloading games from Nintendo eShop while being in sleep mode saves time. But you need to be sure, that your internet connection is solid enough for such a download!

That’s why it would be best, if you decide yourself, which method suits you best – if possible test the different options before you need them.

What’s better: Downloading Nintendo Switch games in sleep mode or while it’s awaken?

Do some tests with your internet connection, before spending your money and time 😉

Nintendo Switch eshop download and sleep mode: What is the difference between those two?

Sleeping vs. Shutting down: What’s the difference for a nintendo switch console to download games?

If you turn off your console, all downloads and processes will be stopped. They will start as soon as your console is turned on again.

If you put your Nintendo Switch into sleep mode, background processes are running during the whole time. Background processes can finish in sleep mode and be ready to use immediately after waking up from sleep mode, such as notifications from nintendo eshop or updates.

There are currently three methods to download games while being in sleep mode.

1. Downloading games from Nintendo eshop directly to your switch’s harddisk

If you have an active internet connection, your console will automatically download required files, when you open the Nintendo eShop app for the first time in sleep mode. After that, you can access this list of downloads with a simple button press.

2. Using an USB drive or microSD card

If you have enough space on a USB drive or microSD card , the Nintendo Switch console can download games straight from there. But you’ll need to prepare them before hand!

3. Downloading games via docked mode, while using a TV monitor

The most comfortable way: Just insert your USB drive or microSD card in the dock station and play your game later.

Nintendo Switch downloading while sleeping: Requirements for this?

This method doesn’t require any additional hardware, but it needs some other requirements to be fulfilled.

You’ll need a Nintendo Account with access to the Nintendo eShop , an active internet connection during download, a wireless router (only when undocked / wireless) and a TV monitor.

Conclusion

Downloading games while your Nintendo Switch is in sleep mode saves time, but it can be difficult if you have an unreliable internet connection. For those who want to download a game while being asleep or without a TV monitor at hand, the best option would be to use one of these three methods: 1) Download from Nintendo eshop directly on hard disk; 2) Use USB drive/microSD card with enough space available for downloads; 3) Or play through docked mode when using tv screen. In any case, make sure that all necessary requirements are met before downloading and save yourself some time!
