Over half of NSO users pay for the Expansion Pack. Yup, of those with a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, 60% opt for the pricier Expansion Pack tier. N64 nostalgia is strong I guess. 😅

Some 72% of Switch players say they've experienced Joy-Con drift — which makes it far and away the most common hardware complaint (duh) ⚙️ See how other issues compare: switchweekly.com/survey/2025

🕹️ The typical Switch player logs an average of around ~5 hours of game time per week, but 67% said that's down on last year. Backlog fatigue? Fewer new releases? Or just waiting for Switch 2?
