Netflix on Nintendo Switch? Here's how to watch your favorite titles even if the gaming console still does not support the popular streaming service.

How to Watch Netflix on Nintendo Switch

With all of that said, there is a single workaround that allows Nintendo Switch users to stream their favorite shows and blockbusters on Netflix, as well as on Disney Plus and HBO Max.

Installing Android on the Nintendo Switch allows the installation of those apps on the gaming console.

However, it is worth noting that going this route is unofficial. Thus, it is only suggested for more advanced users of the console due to its complicated process.

Plus, doing this also voids the warranty of the Switch.

How to Install Android on Nintendo Switch

If you have decided to go on with the risk of hacking your Nintendo Switch to run Android, and if your console model is indeed hackable (which could be checked here), then, here's how to install it.

Make sure to download the root tool here and extract it via 7-zip. Then, download Android for tablet, which works best undocked, or Android TV, for docking. Also, ensure that you have an SD card formatted as FAT32 because an EXFAT will not work.

As per GameSpot, if all of these are now in place, follow these outlined steps of the complicated process from a forum post on XDA Developers.

Meanwhile, Netflix and Sony is rumored to be teaming up to set up an Xbox Game Pass Rival.
