Nintendo eShop Maintenance Schedule Announced for Switch and Switch 2: September 14, 2025

Nintendo has officially released its maintenance schedule for the week of September 14, 2025, affecting users of the Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, and Nintendo eShop platforms across various regions.

This weekly update continues Nintendo’s pattern of routine service checks, focusing this time on credit card payment functionality and certain account creation features. According to Nintendo’s published schedule, the only maintenance window planned for this period targets the eShop’s credit card transaction service, including the creation of child Nintendo Accounts within the United States.

During this maintenance, users may temporarily be unable to process credit card payments or register child accounts on the eShop. The maintenance is set for September 15, 2025, beginning at 6:00 PM Pacific Time (PT) and concluding at 10:10 PM PT.

For players on the East Coast, this period runs from 9:00 PM to 1:10 AM ET on September 16.

In the UK, the window translates to 2:00 AM through 6:10 AM BST on September 16, while users in continental Europe will experience downtime from 3:00 AM until 7:10 AM local time the same day. Nintendo has emphasized its ongoing commitment to platform stability and user security, stating in its posted communications that such scheduled maintenance is critical for ensuring the reliability of its digital services.

The company encourages users to plan purchases or account changes outside the scheduled window to avoid disruptions. The Nintendo eShop is central to the Switch and Switch 2 ecosystems, allowing players to purchase digital versions of blockbuster titles, indie games, and essential downloadable content.

In recent years, Nintendo has steadily enhanced eShop services, introducing additional payment methods, regional options, and family-friendly account management tools.

The Switch platform family—since its launch in March 2017—has seen impressive global adoption, exceeding 130 million hardware sales and cementing itself as a leading force in the gaming industry. While this maintenance window is expected to create only brief interruptions, Nintendo assures all affected users that regular service will resume promptly at the end of the posted schedule.
