Getting a bit confused so thought I’d ask for help from those of you with the console!

My kids each want a Switch Lite. Will they need a physical copy of each game to play together, or can they share?

E.g would they need a copy of Mario Kart each to play a PVP game, or could one be the ‘lead console’ and invite the other to play?

Thanks in advance!

They'll need a copy each unless you play 2p on one console

They would each need a copy of the game to play together yes.

There's a way of sharing digital games where you have a master console and can then play the game on others, but the rule here is that you can only play the game on one system at a time.

How to share digital games suggests only one copy of the game is needed for dual player if it's a digital purchase rather than a physical cartridge.
