Software Displays “Purchased” in Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch

The information in this article can help you when a specific game or DLC item displays as "Purchased" in Nintendo eShop, but there is no option to redownload it.

When a game is listed as "Purchased" in Nintendo eShop, it means the game has already been purchased by the Nintendo Account used to access Nintendo eShop.

What to Do:

  1. Scroll through the HOME Menu to see if the game has already been downloaded to your console.

    • You may need to select All Software to view your full list of downloaded games.

  2. If the content does not appear, redownload it by loading the virtual game card for the game or DLC.

Situation Not Resolved

If the game or content still does not appear or is not listed with your virtual game cards, please follow Digital Content is Missing from Nintendo Switch (Games, DLC, Etc).
