Nintendo is discontinuing support for Google and Apple account linking for Nintendo accounts. This means that users will no longer be able to use their Google or Apple accounts to log in. As per an announcement on the company’s support site, the change will take effect early next year, on 26 January 2027. That said, the exact end time doesn’t seem to be set in stone, as it depends on the progress of the system change work.
Regardless, from that point onwards, it will no longer be possible to sign in using these methods. Naturally, you won’t be able to create a new account with your Google or Apple account either. Aside from that, the company is discontinuing the My Nintendo Platinum Points mission that rewards users for linking their Google accounts to their Nintendo accounts.
