help Nintendo Switch Lite FAQ

Can you connect the Nintendo Switch Lite to a television?

No, the Nintendo Switch Lite is strictly a handheld device and does not feature the internal hardware required to connect to a TV. It completely lacks the TV docking capability found on the standard Nintendo Switch and the Switch OLED models.

Do the Joy-Cons detach on the Nintendo Switch Lite?

Unlike the original Switch, the controllers on the Nintendo Switch Lite are permanently built into the device and cannot be detached. However, you can still pair external Bluetooth controllers if a game requires detached Joy-Cons.

What is the battery life of the Nintendo Switch Lite?

The Nintendo Switch Lite offers an estimated battery life of roughly 3 to 7 hours depending on the software being used. This is comparable to the updated standard Switch model that was released in 2019.

Can you play all Nintendo Switch games on the Lite model?

You can play almost all Nintendo Switch games on the Lite, but titles that require detached motion controls are not supported in handheld mode. Games like 1-2-Switch and Super Mario Party require external Joy-Cons to be played on the device.
