How To Fix Nintendo Switch eShop Not Working | New in 2025 New Fix!
Nintendo Switch users may sometimes experience eShop issues like when it won’t load, showing a white screen only, or if it becomes inaccessible. In this article, we’ll help you in fixing eShop if it’s not working on your Nintendo Switch.
What causes the Nintendo Switch eShop not working issue?
There are a number of possible factors that can cause Nintendo eShop to stop working. If eShop is only showing white screen, or if you are getting an eShop error, one of these things might be causing it:
Nintendo eShop server is temporarily out.
The Nintendo eShop may sometimes encounter server troubles due to outages or maintenance just like any online service out there.
DNS issue.
Sometimes, your ISP-provided Domain Name Server or DNS may go down causing connectivity issues. If this is the case, other devices that connects to your internet network will also encounter trouble opening websites. Use your computer or smartphone to check if that’s the case.
Random software glitch.
The Nintendo Switch may develop random flukes from time to time. For example, some users reported that toggling Flight Mode on and off fixed their Nintendo eShop connection from time to time. While this workaround does not work for everyone each time, it’s worth giving a try as it can be performed quickly in a few seconds.
Outdated software.
Before you try to access the Nintendo eShop, make sure that you check for system updates. In my experience, an outdated system software is enough to prevent eShop access. If you’re getting any error when trying to load Nintendo eShop, be sure to check for software updates.
Slow or intermittent internet connection.
For some users, using slow wifi network can cause eShop to crash or fail to load up. The same is true if the connection keeps dropping.
