Is there a way to play steam games on the switch?

[Molikanoda]

I've bought games on steam that are also on the switch, that I now want to play on the switch.
Is there a way I don't have to buy the game again and am able to play it on the switch?

Actually, the issue isn´t "learning" from Steam. Don´t DON´T WANT do to things like Steam.

LOL, yeah, we should totally follow Nintendo's example of a poorly organized store that is primarily stocked with Japanimation games. Also, no reviews of any kind, no rating system, and no refunds.

Yeah, sooooo much better than Steam, with a much broader variety of games, a store that's easy to browse, user reviews, and an actual refund system.

In all fairness, if you don't use filters, Steam's about as flooded with Japanimation. The moment I enabled porn games in my Steam account settings, there was basically nothing else left, than troves and troves of Japanimation (with the rest being buried under that troves). However, we got filters on Steam which further emphasizes your point.

sales...
nintendo is that bold and sells you Mario Kart 8 from 2014 for the full price. and minimum effort put into cashes in on remasters of games that weren't good even back then (Skyward Sword).

Just wait until the steam deck ;)

I do know people have hacked and out Linux on their switch. So I wonder if it'd be possible to get Proton, or maybe slap the upcoming steamos 3 on there.

choose the Cross-Save option in the game's main menu and link your Steam or Epic account

For everyone that said "No" just ignore them. I could go through and explain it all but I actually found a guy that made a video all about it and it's only a few minutes long. I can vouch for this method working though, but there are a few different ways. This way is probably one of the best though since you can still play your Switch games and use your Switch as you normally would, only it'll have a homebrew main screen (not much different than the stock one actually, but kinda different...you'll see). Here's the link to the tutorial :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBksql547V0

EDIT: It says it in the video, but I'll just say it here as well...for this method to work, your computer or laptop is going to need to have an nVidia graphics card since it uses GeForce Experience to stream the games to your Switch using the nVidia Shield gaming method through another application called Moonlight. This is great and the most flexible since you aren't limited to just Steam games because GeForce Experience scans all games on your computer and even lets you add games manually that it missed in the scan.

Good luck! Let me know how you make out if you give this a shot :D

I'd love this because I'm thinking about buying a Switch and don't want to re-buy stuff.

Buy Steam Deck instead and you can play your Steam games on it.

I'd just be happy if they'd make licenses transferable. Same thing with Android, actually. If I already own it for PC, it sucks to have to buy the Android version all over again, just for portability.

Never going to happen. Steam (and other gaming platforms), the developers and publishers all want licences to non-transferable as it makes them the most money and they are the ones that decide if licences are transferable or not.

Necropost, but here's a thread on how to NATIVELY play steam games (need a jailbreaked switch, softmod or buy a modchipped): https://gbatemp.net/threads/an-extremely-noob-friendly-guide-to-playing-steam-games-on-switch-please-read-the-forward.639027/

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
