It’s day #2927952 of social distancing, you have your Nintendo Switch and your BFFs code — you love to see it. But now, do you know which are the best multiplayer Switch games in 2020? If you’re like us you already have your Animal Crossing island open and ready for business and if you’re like Kendall Jenner you challenge your friends and family to a virtual race while doing a face mask (or your self-care ritual of choice).
However, those aren’t the only Nintendo Switch games you can play with your friends while keeping the 6ft distance rule in check. Whether they are in Los Angeles and you’re on the other side of the world, Nintendo’s new console has plenty of video games for any type of gamer. From dance games and classic games like Tetris that the whole family can enjoy to foolproof faves like Pokémon and Super Smash Bros., we’ve rounded up the 11 best multiplayer Switch games you can play non-stop with your friends and family.
