Nintendo continues to enrich the Nintendo Switch Online experience for its dedicated user base, this time by unveiling a fresh collection of exclusive user icons themed around the highly anticipated Frosty Fest Splatfest in Splatoon 3.
As Splatoon 3 fans eagerly prepare for the first Splatfest event of 2026, Nintendo has provided yet another incentive for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers to personalize their profiles with unique, event-specific flair. Since its release in September 2022, Splatoon 3 has quickly solidified its position as one of the Nintendo Switch’s premier multiplayer shooters, known for its vibrant visuals, frequent updates, and engaging in-game competitions called Splatfests.
To celebrate the arrival of Frosty Fest—which kicks off on January 10, 2026—Nintendo has created a lineup of new user icons dedicated to the winter-themed event.
These icons are available exclusively to those with an active Nintendo Switch Online membership. Historically, Nintendo has periodically rereleased prior user icons that subscribers may have missed, ensuring everyone has fresh opportunities to customize their online presence.
In parallel with this practice, the company continues to develop brand new icon sets for major in-game events, and Frosty Fest is the latest to receive this special treatment. A Nintendo spokesperson reaffirmed the company’s commitment to community engagement and digital expression, stating that the updated icon rollout allows Switch Online members to showcase their personalities and favorite games in even more creative ways.
"We’re excited to expand the range of customization options available to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, especially as Splatoon 3’s Frosty Fest approaches," said a Nintendo representative.
"Our new icon sets help players celebrate unique in-game events and personalize their Nintendo Switch profiles." Nintendo Switch Online members can access the new Frosty Fest user icons directly through the eShop or by navigating to the Switch Online app on their Nintendo Switch console.
Like all user icons on the platform, these Frosty Fest icons are modular, giving players the freedom to mix and match backgrounds, characters, and frames for maximum flexibility and personalization. With the Frosty Fest Splatfest bringing heightened excitement to Splatoon 3 and Nintendo Switch Online, these user icons represent a continued focus on celebrating community milestones.
As Nintendo’s online subscription grows—having surpassed 38 million members globally by 2023—such additions offer ongoing value for the dedicated fanbase invested in the platform’s ecosystem. Nintendo Switch Online user icons, particularly those themed around limited-time events like Frosty Fest, underscore the company's commitment to rewarding loyal players and maintaining a dynamic, engaging digital experience for Nintendo Switch owners worldwide.
