## 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](https://docs.xbox.com/services/playfab/sdks/request-access-for-sdks-samples.md).
