Getting Access to SDKs for Nintendo Switch

Our PlayFab Services SDKs for Unreal and Unity are platform-agnostic. As such, they require no special access or permissions from PlayFab to utilize on any platform. To utilize our C/C++ or Legacy C++ SDKs on Switch, you must get middleware approval from Nintendo. Once you have approval, we can grant access to the SDK. Learn more about this process here: Request Access.
