Can you install Friday Night Funkin’ on Switch? Answered

Friday Night Funkin’ is a nostalgic rhythm game that perfectly captures the look and feel of old Flash games that were popular on sites like Newgrounds. FNF, as it’s sometimes known, even goes as far as to include classic Newgrounds characters. But unfortunately, the game was only released on PC. So can you install Friday Night Funkin’ on Nintendo Switch?

Installing Friday Night Funkin’ on Switch

There is a way to download and play Friday Night Funkin’ on your Nintendo Switch. That method involves disconnecting your Switch from updating, using a special tool to access the development mode, and installing new firmware on the console. You’ll then need to install a hacked version of Friday Night Funkin’ onto an SD or download it using the new firmware.

Unsurprisingly all these steps are against the official Nintendo Terms of Service (ToS) and can get your Nintendo Account banned, or completely break your Switch. We do not recommend anyone take these extreme measures to play the game.
