How to Create Folders on Nintendo Switch Console

Nintendo Switch users have been unable to organize their workspace since the console's release. A recent update has changed the general approach to arranging games in the system — groups have been introduced. In this material, we will tell you how to create folders on the Nintendo Switch console.

Players can organize their workspace on the console. To do this, follow these steps:

The created folder will appear in the Groups section. To access this section, the player needs to press All Programs and use the L key. Groups do not appear on the main screen.

Hybrid console users can delete previously created folders at any time. To do this, perform the following actions:

The folder will disappear from the Group section, but all games and applications will remain on the device.

The ability to create folders is available on all consoles in the Switch family, including the original model, Switch Lite, and OLED. The new Groups feature is available on devices after installing the update 14.0.0 or later versions if more than 12 games and applications are installed on the console system.

Up to 100 folders can be created on one console, and each can contain up to 200 titles. Groups can be assigned any names chosen by the user. The same game or application can be added to different folders, for example, simultaneously placing Metroid Dread in the Nintendo Exclusives and Favorite Games groups.
