Nintendo Switch Online Adds Virtual Boy in 2026

Nintendo has confirmed the next big step for Nintendo Switch Online and its expansion offerings. On February 17, 2026, both Switch and Switch 2 will receive access to a new Virtual Boy library.

A Dedicated Accessory Required

The service will use a special Virtual Boy accessory designed to slot in your console. Nintendo didn’t share final details on pricing for the add-on yet, but it is required to play. This is the first time Nintendo has officially revisited the infamous Virtual Boy platform with proper re-releases.
